Study on Condom Use Behaviors

Introduction

The study was to result in some pilot tests that would be eventually get used in showing how condoms are normally put into use by the male gender. These males were supposed to get aged between eighteen to twenty-four years in order for the study to be able to come up with the desired results. For this research, the individuals were supposed to be people who only fell in the ages of 18-24. Another important factor for this study is that the individuals were people that had previously been able to have visited a health facility in the state of South Chicago. For this research to be undertaken, the participants were supposed to be people who were prone to HIV/AIDS and those that might have taken part in sex that is not safe with a lot of partners in a period of 3-6 months (Stephen et al,2007).

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study was to come up with a pilot test that would be used to look at the culture of how condoms are used among the males who are aged between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four years. The purpose of the study will be used to answer the following questions;

1.Which group of people is most likely to be infected with HIV/AIDS that is, Africans or Americans.

2.Which group mostly engages in risky behaviors like substance or even drug use (Patten & Newhart,2017).

Research Questions

1.How many African Americans get infected with HIV/AIDS as compared to other groups?

2.How many African Americans get involved with risky behaviors like drug abuse or alcohol abuse leading to the acquisition of HIV/AIDS?

Literature Review

In the world of technology today, a lot of young people especially the college going students get involved with behavior that is not good at all. These bad behaviors will be inclusive of partying where the youth will always get engaged in sex and which will normally expose them to the dangerous HIV/AIDS. This will also normally result due to the use of dangerous drugs or even excess intake of alcohol. The study has shown that the group that will normally be exposed to HIV/AIDS is the African Americans. This is because of their exposure to drugs or alcohol (Stephen et al,2007).

Theoretical Framework

Risky behavior is defined as engaging in activities that are harmful and which will lead to harmful effects. For instance, the use of drugs in order to party. One will later find themselves in difficult situations as there will be risks of getting affected with HIV/AIDS (Patten &Newhart,2017).

Drug abuse is defined as the use of drugs which will have an effect on the normal working of the body and which can lead to some diverse effects like insomnia, headaches among others. A good example is the use of Cocaine in excess which has some adverse negative effects on the body.

Qualitative Study on Home Cares

Introduction

It has come to the attention of most experts that most people who are normally exposed to home care will normally end to the hospitals or even the referrals. As a result, it has been identified that the aspect becomes very expensive and that leads to the increase of predisposing factors on the given illnesses. This research dwelt more on the people that were suffering from infections that result from pneumonia. The participants of the study were mostly family members of the local communities that were picked randomly. The research was undertaken by use of 14 questions that were of the interview.

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which pneumonia is covered when the patients have been taken to home care and later transferred to the hospitals or the referrals. The research was to find out the extent to which the pneumonia patients get affected by the infections from the disease.

Research Questions

1.To what extent are the patients that are taken to the referrals suffer from pneumonia infections as compared to those in-home cares?

2.What is the level of quality of healthcare that is offered in the nursing homes when compared to referrals or hospitals (Patten & Newhart,2017)?

Literature Review

Treatment of pneumonia has always been considered to be critical mostly when it is to be offered when it is in the critical stages. There are tendencies of the hospitals or even the referrals not giving the best treatment when the pneumonia is in the critical stages (Soo et al,2006). In regards to this, it is advisable that the ailment gets diagnosed in the nursing homes as that is the place where treatment will be great without risks of infections.

Theoretical Framework

The local community is defined as a population of people that lives in a given area. These are the people that will normally participate in the way things are in a given locality without a lot of problems.

The local community can also be termed as a people who are of shared values and who are motley ready to help the others when there are issues that do disturb the community which can be like health matters or even societal difficulties like thuggery (Soo et al,2006).

What was the incidence rate of asthma in this population for the one-year period?

/in /by

Question 1 

Suppose that you are following a group of children for the development of asthma over a one- year period. You identify 100 children on January 1st, screen them for asthma, and set up a monitoring program to check on their status on a monthly basis. Five children are considered prevalent cases because they were diagnosed with asthma before January 1st. Ten children develop asthma on March 1st and another ten children develop asthma on July 1st. Another 10 children who remain healthy were followed for six months and then were lost to follow-up. All of the remaining children did not develop asthma and were not lost to follow-up. Follow-up ended on December 31st.

· What was the prevalence of asthma on June 1st?

· What was the prevalence of asthma on September 1st?

· How many person-months of observation were accrued by this population?

· What was the incidence rate of asthma in this population for the one-year period?

Question 2 

A population of 1,000 people is monitored for a year for the development of measles. No one has measles at the start of the investigation. Thirty people develop measles on June 30 and twenty people develop measles on September 30. Eight people are lost to follow-up on March 31 and twenty-four people are lost to follow-up on November 30. None of those lost to follow-up had developed measles prior to becoming lost. Assume that you can only get measles once.

· What is the cumulative incidence of measles in this population?

· What is the incidence rate of measles?

· What is the prevalence of measles on July 1?

Question 3 

· Which type of measure of disease frequency best describes each of the following scenarios?

· Percentage of students enrolled in a college who developed influenza during the spring semester of 2012.

· Percentage of students enrolled in an epidemiology class who had sore throats on the first day of class.

· Percent of breast cancer patients who underwent mastectomy during 2012.

· Percent of men found to have high blood pressure at their yearly physical.

· Number of newly-diagnosed cases of AIDS in a year per 100,000 persons.

· Percent of infants born with spina bifida out of 1,000 live-born infants.

· Percent of drivers found to be legally drunk at the time of their car accident.

There are 2 discussions: Topic 1 & Topic 2 (They both require references please)

Discussion Topic 1: Third-party Payment

How does third-party payment distort the market for health care? If it is so distorted why does every wealthy country insist on using third-party intermediaries to purchase health care? Why do we carve out a separate payment program for our elder citizens?
