Read the obituaries from a newspaper for a period of one week. As you read the obituaries, record the age, sex, and cause of death for each person noted. Multiply the data by 52 to get an equivalent of one year’s worth of data. Calculate crude mortality rates (# deaths in year/city population) and cause-specific (you pick a cause of death & count how many died from that cause from your data x 52, then divide by city population), then age-specific mortality rates (pick an age bracket, then count how many people died from your group, multiply by 52. Now divide by the population for that age bracket only (look this up online). The formula tables attached will help you. Show at least the data (sex, age, cause of death if noted) found from the newspaper for some points. Then show your math using the formulas for the rest. If you listened to the audio lecture, it states to be able to correctly do this, you must look up the population of the city you get your data from. If your city does not indicate cause of death, put “no cause listed”.  Hint: Choose a smaller city for this because if you pick a large city, the more numbers you are going to be working with.

Provide information from your research regarding the use of the personality measure, and assess the value of other possible instruments that could be added to create a more complete assessment of the client in the scenario.

Carefully review the PSY615: Week Two Counseling-Based Personality Assessment Scenario  (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

In your initial post, examine the personality assessment instrument used in the scenario and research a peer-reviewed article in the Ashford University Library on this personality assessment. Using the required articles and websites as well as your researched article to support your statements, describe the standard use of this personality assessment. Based on the scenario, evaluate the reliability, validity, and cultural considerations inherent to the personality assessment used and comment on the relevance of these elements within the scenario. Analyze and describe some of the potential ethical issues which might arise from the use of this personality assessment in the given scenario.  Provide information from your research regarding the use of the personality measure, and assess the value of other possible instruments that could be added to create a more complete assessment of the client in the scenario.
