Final Due

/in /by

Final Research Project (30% of grade)

due in Week 8

The Final Research Project maps to the following ANTH 350 learning outcomes (course objectives):

  • describe the role of culture in health, illness, and healing and medical anthropology’s contributions to individual and public health in domestic and international contexts
  • describe the local and global political, social, and economic factors that influence individual and public health to shape programs and policies
  • apply the perspectives and methods of anthropology to promote individual and public health in domestic and international contexts

Part 3: Final Project (completed in three stages) (Due Week 8)

Privacy concerns about the final project: The final project asks you to discuss your own and your household members’ personal health and illness-related ideas, behaviors, and concerns, as well as the personal environments in which you live; however, you should

not disclose or discuss any information that you want to keep private. These projects are for your instructor’s eyes only- they are not to be submitted in any public classroom areas and they will not be used for any purpose other than to assess your mastery of the material covered in this course. You control the information you include.

Stage 1

In stage 1, you will conduct a rapid ethnographic assessment of the “production of health” in your own household, using each of the three theoretical perspectives anthropologists use to better explain and understand health/illness-related phenomena.

Start your observations for this project as soon as the class begins!

Project activities will include (again, include only information you would be comfortable discussing publicly):

  • an inventory of health/illness-related products in the household (e.g., prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, medical devices, any foods or supplements eaten for health reasons, books or anything you consider “health or illness related”
  • a record of health-seeking behavior exhibited by household members
  • descriptions of at least one illness episode occurring in the household currently or during the previous six months, including information about the decisions that were made, who made the decisions, and so forth
  • explanatory models of any illness episodes or chronic illnesses
  • a record of health/illness-related conversations with others
  • a list of resources that have an impact on your household’s health/illness-related ideas and behaviors and household health status (e.g., time, health insurance, social support)
  • features of your community, state, national, and global environments that you think have an impact on your household’s heath/illness-related ideas and behaviors and household health status (e.g., national health insurance, industrial pollution, infectious agents)

30 points

Stage 2

In stage 2, you will use what you learned in stage 1 about your own household’s production of health, as well as readings and discussions, to create an intervention to address this issue in your household. The intervention may promote wellness, prevent disease, educate household members, or be intended to cure or alleviate suffering in some way. This exercise is not “for real” (unless you want it to be), and it can be as creative as you like. For example, if someone in your household suffers from chronic pain, based on your reading about how people from different cultural worlds cope with chronic pain, you might design an intervention that incorporates heat and ice, pain medications, acupuncture, meditation, psychotherapy, and shamanic healing.

You will also explain (1) the ideas (theories) about the body, wellness, illness, and healing that underlie the intervention(s) you have chosen, and (2)the features of the physical, political, social, and economic environment that will either facilitate or impede the implementation of your intervention (e.g., health insurance does not cover psychotherapy, the physical labor required by the person’s job is the source of their pain, or – happily- a shaman lives next door and refuses payment for his services!). Additionally, try to anticipate any unintended effects (either positive or negative) from this intervention.

30 points

Stage 3

In stage 3, you will design a plan to evaluate the intervention you developed in stage 2. This does not mean you must actually implement your intervention, but you need to know what you want to accomplish and how you will know if you did. Your plan must include:

  • intervention activities: What will you do in your intervention, and how much of each activity will you do? For example, your intervention may include walking for exercise. How often will you walk, for how long, and at what speed?
  • measurable outcomes: Exactly what do you want your intervention to accomplish? For example, you may want to lose 40 pounds.
  • measurement model: How will you know whether you have achieved your intended outcomes? For example, you may weigh yourself at the end of your intervention.

30 points

Week 7 – Assignment: Analyze Samples, Power Analysis, and Design Sensitivity

/in /by

Instructions

Download the G*Power software provided and then use the software to submit the following
1. Calculate the sample size needed given these factors:

  • one-tailed t-test with two independent groups of equal size
  • small effect size (see Piasta, S.B., & Justice, L.M., 2010)
  • alpha =.05
  • beta = .2
  • Assume that the result is a sample size beyond what you can obtain. Use the compromise function to compute alpha and beta for a sample half the size. Indicate the resulting alpha and beta. Present an argument that your study is worth doing with the smaller sample (include peer-reviewed journal articles as needed to support your response).

2. Calculate the sample size needed given these factors:

  • ANOVA (fixed effects, omnibus, one-way)
  • small effect size
  • alpha =.05
  • beta = .2
  • 3 groups
  • Assume that the result is a sample size beyond what you can obtain. Use the compromise function to compute alpha and beta for a sample approximately half the size. Give your rationale for your selected beta/alpha ratio. Indicate the resulting alpha and beta. Give an argument that your study is worth doing with the smaller sample.

3. In a few sentences, describe two designs that can address your research question. The designs must involve two different statistical analyses. For each design, specify and justify each of the four factors and calculate the estimated sample size you’ll need. Give reasons for any parameters you need to specify for G*Power.

Support your paper with a minimum of 5 resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

Length: 5-7 pages not including title and reference pages

For this you will examine information and data from the SWOT analysis you conducted in Week Two and learn how that information and data can be applied to the Environmental Analysis section of your marketing plan for the Final Project. To prepare for this discussion, read Chapter 5 of the course text. It is also recommended that you review Chapter 4, which was read last week.

The creation of a successful strategic plan is derived from researched data; in particular, applicable data can be obtained from a SWOT analysis. Review section 5.4 of the course text, which presents examples of environmental analysis, both internal and external, for a hypothetical nursing facility. Examine the strategic plan of the HCO you have chosen for your Final Project and the results from the SWOT analysis that you performed in Week Two. Then, in your initial post, address the following questions:

  • What external and internal environmental analysis data could be applied to the marketing plan you are developing for your Final Project?
  • How will the environmental analysis support the marketing plan to fulfill the organizations strategic objectives?

Part 2

For this part, you will examine market research strategies and how the information gleaned can be applied to the Marketing Mix section of your Final Project. Services offered by healthcare organizations are becoming increasingly diversified regarding services offered. With this said, health care organizations rely on market research to determine their best course of action regarding time and financial investment.

After reading Chapter 6 and watching the Alanis Business Academy’s YouTube video, describe the information that can be derived from each of the four quadrants in the Boston Consulting Group matrix. Additionally, describe the validity and applicability of implanting the Boston Consulting Group matrix for your chosen healthcare organization’s marketing plan. Based on the information that can be gleaned (market growth rate by the relative market share) regarding the healthcare organization you have chosen for your Final Project, how could the information be applied to improve marketing decision-making processes?

    Context

    Effective communication is important in all organizations and is especially important in the area of health care. Communication can come in many forms, but the crucial factor is whether the communication is effective.SHOW LESS

    Collaboration among teams is important for the delivery of appropriate medical care and for providing the specialized skills necessary to meet the needs of patients and the public. Assessing the needs of a community may involve communication across several public service providers and private entities.

    Maintaining open communication and collaboration among teams is essential to assess the needs of a community or those of patients and their families within a health care system. The same communication skills must be evident within the interdisciplinary health care team, or across the public and private sectors in a community, in order to promote collaboration and understanding and to provide the utmost quality service.
