Spinal Cord Injuries from Recreational Sports

/in /by

In your peer responses, explain why you agree or disagree with the study design
and approach that they chose and offer a different perspective (if possible) as
to how they may have benefited from using another type of study design or asking
a different research question. must be in APA 6th edition. and must use one scholarly reference.

Spinal Cord Injuries from
Recreational Sports

Spinal Cord Injuries from
Recreational Sports

Spinal cord injuries are
amongst those that participate in recreational sports can be prevented through
state funded initiatives such as sports safety commercials and state monitored
participant safety gear requirements. If provided funding to perform a pilot
program study, I would conduct a community trial as an effort to prove that each
state possess the potential to decrease and prevent morbidity and mortality
associated with spinal cord injuries caused by recreational sports. I would
start my study by first, reviewing the literature associated with current or
past initiatives with the same goal. Secondly, I would create a non-complex
hypothesis statement. Lastly, I would elaborate on all of the limitations,
strengths, and weaknesses of the study design.

Community Trials as
Interventions

Community Trials are initiated by
identifying potential communities for trial participation. These communities
will be handpicked based on a high incidence rate for spinal cord injuries as a
result of recreational sports, and would additionally be monitored for
prevalence of spinal cord injuries in a particular sub-set of the
population. With required blessings from the designated officials that oversee
the communities, the following proposal would be presented for study format
would be presented for the review. As provided by Friis & Sellars (2009), a
schematic diagram of a community trial as an intervention for spinal cord
injuries caused by recreational sports would include the following:

1.) Population (a) and
(b)

2.) Observation of Injury
Incidence/Specified Time

3.) Distribute Randomized
Interventions

4.) Measure the Outcomes for both
groups that received the intervention and those that did not.

Pilot Program Grant
Proposition

PurposeTo provide community level safety
interventions for spinal cord injuries due to recreational sport activities.

HypothesisWill the rate of spinal cord injury
incidence decrease for populations that have prevention programs in
place?

Methods (Solomon Four-Group
Assignment)For
exactly 24 months, I would measure the outcomes for communities that have been
provided an intervention for safer recreational sports participation. After
selecting four communities that have a consistent or high rate for spinal cord
injuries over the last 2 years, I would select two of these communities to
integrate community sensitive safety intervention programs.

OutcomesThe outcomes would measured by
contrasting an decrease, increase, or stagnation for the rate of incidence for
spinal cord injury

LimitationsExpected strengths and weaknesses of
the study would be the consistent and inconsistent reporting of spinal cord
injuries as a result of recreational sports participation from local acute care
settings and hospital emergency departments. In addition, additional support
from the local school system and state officials would be required for success.

PowerPoint Presentation
The goal of this assignment is to think critically about the need for cultural competency in health the US, and suggest innovative strategies to address that need (focus on solutions).
TOPIC: Why do “food deserts” result in poorer health outcomes such as diabetes and hypertension in South Central Los Angeles?
(some ideas
http://www.medicareadvocacy.org/medicare-info/health-care-disparities/http://www.medicareadvocacy.org/medicare-info/health-care-disparities/)
Address the following questions:
a) In what ways does your selected population currently NOT receive culturally competent health care and public health service? Give specific examples that can illustrate your point.
b) What are the specific health consequences of the non-competent health care for your selected population?
c) What do you suggest to solve this deficiency? Propose one or a series of intervention activities / laws which would help your chosen population to receive more culturally competent health care. You will need to explain the possible short term and long term consequences of your proposed activities / laws.
Format your responses to these prompts as a PowerPoint presentation. The length of the presentation will not exceed 12 minutes.
General Guidelines for Oral Presentations
Each oral presentation should be similar to that given at a professional meeting.

Survey Analysis

Survey AnalysisLasser, K. E., Himmelstein, D. U., & Woolhandler, S. (2006, July). Access to care, health status, and health disparities in the United States and Canada: Results of a cross-national population-based survey. American Journal of Public Health, 96(7), 1300–1307. Prepare a two-page critical analysis report on the survey based on the following points: How instructive is it to compare healthcare systems in the United States and Canada? Apart from the two factors examined in the study, has the survey missed any other critical factors? The study also included a telephone survey. What are the limitations of telephone surveys? Considering differences in demography, population density, and cultural diversity, how valid is the conclusion of the survey? CriteriaPrepared a critical analysis report on the survey based on the defined points. Followed APA guidelines for writing style, spelling, grammar, and citation of sources.Justified ideas and responses by using appropriate examples and references from texts.What are the limitations of telephone surveys?
