Prior to engaging in this discussion, review Chapters 7 and 8 in your text, read “Recovering Health Through Cultural Traditions” by Krohn (2013), and review the Instructor Guidance.
Refer to the information in the SOC313 Family Document. For this discussion, address the scenario below based on your assigned family member who is currently experiencing issues with substance misuse and complete the discussion according to the instructions.

Last Names Beginning with A – E: Lucy Miller is a 20 year old woman who has recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. As a coping mechanism for her wild mood changes, Lucy began experimenting with illegal drugs while still in high school and has now become addicted to them.
For your assigned family member, analyze the biology of substance misuse and describe its potential for dependence in certain families and the outcomes of various behaviors. Is it likely that Lucy, Josh, or Sam had a genetic predisposition to alcohol or substance addition? How does lifespan development make a difference in propensity to misuse substances? How does the stage of life at which the misuse begins affect the user’s behaviors?

In Week 4, you will continue to assume the role of the public health informatician and use your pre-intervention asthma surveillance data set from the CDC to calculate risk/odds ratios and prevalence/incidence rates. Review the data set from a population perspective and calculate various population ratios and rates for the asthma data in your Excel spreadsheet. You will then answer the following questions in a short application paper of 3–4-pages, explaining your results. You may refer to the suggested readings for this week.
Ratios and Rate Questions

[Note: School populations: Asthma elementary student count in this study is 800 for this school year. School’s population (A + B + C + D) = 7,200 students for this school year.]
• Does one school have a higher number of students with asthma?
• Which school has the highest number of students with wheezing?
• How many students had both asthma and wheezing?
• If you have asthma, what are the odds that you also have wheezing?
• Is the odds ratio for bronchitis and RAD lower or higher than asthma and wheezing?
• How many children with wheezing were prescribed medication? From those results, what is the risk ratio?
• Is the risk ratio for being prescribed medication for asthma higher or lower than being prescribed medication for wheezing?
• Are the risk ratios for asthma and wheezing higher for children under the age of 10 than they are for the survey population as a whole?
• What is the student asthma prevalence for the school district, i.e., A, B, C, D based on total student population as shown above?
• What is the student asthma incident rate for the school district, i.e., A, B, C, D based on total student population as shown above?

Examine how the perception of the product differs within cultures—both within the United States and globally.

Establishing a culture of sound business ethics within an organization is challenging, to say the least. Companies that market products which are not considered to be “healthy” for consumers have additional challenges. Using the CSU Online Library, research a company that markets “unhealthy” products. Examples might include tobacco or alcohol companies, but these examples are not exclusive. Respond to the following questions.

1. Briefly describe the company and its product and the ethical dilemma associated with the production and distribution of its products.

2. Examine how the perception of the product differs within cultures—both within the United States and globally.

3. How has this company handled the ethical implications of its product with a focus on social responsibility, integrity, and business ethics?

4. Explain how leadership within the organization can instill a culture of ethics within the marketing department as they strive to advertise a product that is not healthy for the customer.
