Behavioral Science Flashcards
Phase 1 clinical trial
Assesses safety and toxicity
Type of study that measures odds ratio? Type of study that measures relative risk?
Case-control vs cohort
Phase 2 clinical trial
Efficacy and dosing and adverse effects
Incidence rate multiplied by the average disease duration is an estimate of?
Prevalence
Odds ratio?
(a/c) / (b/d)
Sensitivity
TP/(TP+FN)
Specificity
TN/(TN+FP)
PPV
TP/(TP+FP)
NPV
TN/(FN+TN)
Relative Risk?
a/(a+b) / c/(c+d)
Attributable Risk?
a/(a+b) - c/(c+d)
Absolute risk reduction
a/(a+b) - c/(c+d)
Number needed to treat?
1/absolute risk
Number needed to harm?
1/attributable risk
Selection bias
Nonrandom assignment to participation in the study group
Recall bias. Seen what type of studies
Knowledge of the presence of the disorder alters recall by subjects. A worry in retrospective studies
Late look bias
Information gathered at an inappropriate time
Procedure bias
Subjects in different groups are not Treated the same
Confounding bias
Occurs when one factor is related to both exposure and outcome but is not on the cost of pathway
Lead-time bias
Early detection confused with increased survival
Observer expectancy effect
Occurs when researchers believe in the efficacy of the treatment changes the outcome
Hawthorne effect
When the grouping study changes behavior when they know they’re being studied
1, 2, 3 SDs
68, 95, 99
Positive skew versus negative skew
Mean>median>mode
Null hypothesis
There is no association between the disease and the Risk factor
Type one error. Value?
Stating there is an effect when there’s none. Alpha
Type II error. Value?
Stating that there is no effect when there is. Beta.
Power. Increases with?
1-beta. Probability of rejecting null hypothesis when it is in fact faults. Increases with sample size, expected effect size and precision of measurement
If confidence interval includes this, Ho is not rejected. If odds ratio relative risk includes this Ho is not rejected
0, 1
T-test vs ANOVA Vs chi-squared test
Measures difference of Means of two groups
Measures difference of Means of three or more groups
Measures difference between two or more percentages or proportions
Primary secondary and tertiary disease prevention
Prevent disease occurrence, detect disease early, reduce disability
Non-malficence
Do no harm
When is consent not needed for minors
Emergencies, contraceptives, STD, pregnancy, treatment of drug addiction
