Concept explainers
a.
To determine: The trend of cigarette smoking among high school students in the time period between 1991-2015.
Introduction: Current smoking is defined as smoking cigarettes on at least one day in the 30 days preceding the survey. The U.S Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) conducts biennial Youth Risk Behavior Surveys (YRBS) in which the high school students are asked to self-report their risky behaviors such as alcohol consumption and smoking. The results obtained were represented in the form of graphs.
b.
To determine: The high school students that are most likely found to be smokers.
Introduction: The high school students of three different races/ethnicity (white, black, and Hispanic) and gender (males and females) were involved in the study to observe the trend of current smoking between them. The results obtained were represented in the form of a graph.
To determine: The high school students that are least likely found to be smokers.

- A group of 156 heart attack patients who were regular smokers up to the time of their heart attacks were followed for ten years. Among them, 75 patients continued to smoke after their heart attacks and 81 quit after their heart attacks. Of the 75 patients that continued smoking, 27 had a second heart attack during the ten years of follow-up, and of the patients who quit, 14 had a second heart attack during the 10 years of follow-up. What is the risk ratio for the association between continued smoking and second heart attack? Round to two decimal placesarrow_forwardA group of 312 heart attack patients who were regular smokers up to the time of their heart attacks were followed for ten years. Among them, 150 patients continued to smoke after their heart attacks and 162 quit after their heart attacks. Of the 150 patients that continued smoking, 54 had a second heart attack during the ten years of follow-up, and of the patients who quit, 28 had a second heart attack during the 10 years of follow-up. Calculate the appropriate measure of association between continued smoking and second heart attack.arrow_forwardList two (2) nursing actions that will be included during data collection when working with a client participating in a research study for psychological and behavioral factors linked to heart disease.arrow_forward
- Which of these is a state-based telephone survey that attempts to ascertain the prevalence of cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, and lack of preventive health care?

This article was based on a study reported by the Journal of the American Medical Association (2005) that followed 155,594 mostly white female nurses, age 55 on the average, who took part in two long running health studies. The participants were questioned periodically about their diets and health and followed for over 12 years. a) Is this an observational study or an experiment? b) Caffeine is a well-known beverage in both coffee and cola and has been shown to cause short-term increases in blood pressure. The article reported that drinking coffee doesn’t seem to cause long-term high blood pressure. Can such a cause-and-effect conclusion be drawn from this study? Justify your response.arrow_forwardA case-control study was conducted to examine the risk factors for HPV infection among OB/GYN clinic patients. The researcher hypothesized that women with HPV cases will report a greater number of multiple sexual partners compared to controls. The existing literature indicates that cases (women with HPV infection) without delay tend to recall and report accurate information about their sexual partners. On the other hand, recall and report of accurate information about multiple sexual partners among controls may not be as clear. (1) Define the direction and the type of biases in the following examples. Choose only one answer for each question. This is study is liable to the following bias: a) Confounding b) Selection Bias c) Information Bias (2) The relationship between HPV infection and the number of sexual partners is likely to be:a) Can go either direction b) Under-estimated c) Over-stimated (3) The following are examples of bias except: a) Confounding…arrow_forward
- An epidemiologist was interested in comparing data provided by mothers about their smoking status during pregnancy on their child’s birth certificate with data on smoking status recorded in their medical record (This is a real study conducted in 1993, name of the author withheld). For this study, we will consider the medical record as the gold standard and the birth certificate to be the imperfect classification scheme. The result is shown in the table below: Medical Record Smoker Non-Smoker Total Birth Certificate Smoker 128 5 133 Nonsmoker 36 465 501 Total 164 470 634 Using the data from this table, compute the sensitivity and specificity of smoking status as reported on the birth certificate. 2.

Please report the rate per 1000 student-years (10 months = 1 student year), using two decimal places. --> Using the first picture with the 2010 School Year (Sept-June) 2) Calculate the number of individuals still at risk after each school year ends and the annual incidence for each study year using the information in the table above. Use two decimal points for your incidence calculation. Fill in the table above where there are question marks, but be sure to show your work below.
