QUESTION 1 Match each description to the correct study design. Study designs may be used more than once. ◆ Incidence data is not available with this study design, so an odds ratio is an appropriate measure of association to calculate. ◆ This study design allows for the evaluation of multiple outcomes. ◆ The temporal sequence between the exposure and outcome is clear for this study design; therefore, incidence data is available and a risk ratio can be calculated. ◆ With this study design, exposure status is assessed, and then participants are followed up over time to see who develops the outcome. ◆ Recall bias is a common issue with this study design because exposure information is collected from the past. QUESTION 2 A. Cohort study B. Case-control study Consider the following scenario for the questions that follow.

QUESTION 36 Which statement below is false about the differences between "hospice" care and "physician-assisted suicide" (PAS)? Hospice care is legal in all U.S. states, but PAS is not. For hospice care a terminal diagnosis of 6-months or less to live, is required, while for PAS a diagnosis of 3-months or less is required. For PAS, a patient must make several requests in writing and orally; with hospice care, a medical diagnosis and referral are enough. In hospice, a team is responsible for patient care, while in PAS, the patient "takes personal responsibility" to take prescribed medicines.

Question 9 A DVT (deep vein thrombosis) clinic had 320 persons appearing for lower extremities Doppler ultrasound study. If 48 out of 80 subjects with DVT tested positive for the DVT, and 228 out of 240 without DVT tested negative Calculate the following Sensitivity Specificity False positive False negative Positive predictive value (PPV) What does this PPV mean Negative predictive value (NPV) What does this NPV here mean The prevalence of DVT What is the 2 x 2 contingency table What is the difference between prevalence with regard to PPV and NPV?
One of the problems that you are able to identify in the Marquez family is the health condition of Mr. Boy Marquez. He suffered from stroke five (5) months ago and is now bedridden. As you are ranking this health deficit, you evaluated it according to preventive potential, particularly severity and duration of the problem. Which among the following statements is true about these two factors under preventive potential? None of the options listed The duration of the problem has a direct realtionship with the severity of the problem. If the health problem is not severe, the preventive potential is low. The nature of the problem will not in any way affect the direct relationship between severity and duration of the problem.

Question: 1) Which of the following statements about injuries is FALSE? Multiple Choice • Intentional injuries are the leading cause of death in the United States. • Unintentional injuries account for more years of potential life lost than any other cause.

Question 6 In a study that is interested in the possible association between smoking (exposure) and coronary heart disease (CHD) disease. If the investigators begin with 800 people with CHD (cases) and compare them with 1600 controls (people without CHD) is this a case control investigation? Suppose 448 of the 800 cases were smokers and 256 were nonsmokers. Of the 1600 controls, 704 were smokers and 896 were nonsmokers. What is the measure of association in this investigation? How could this be calculated? What does this mean?
