CHAPTER 8 Flashcards
Utilizes a null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis that have been analyzed – descriptive
What examine the correlation between 2 continuous variables characterize a liner relationship between dependent and independent variable scatter plots
Population Health
TRUE/FALSE: There is a correlation between sociodemographic and access to healthcare
TRUE
Relationship between sociodemographic and population health
Age, Race, education
TRUE/FALSE: Do we use hypothesis in Population Health
TRUE
TRUE/FALSE: Utilizes a null (educated guess) hypothesis and alternative hypothesis (other than null) that have been analyzed
TRUE
Patients do not have access to healthcare, housing, food and medication are monitor by providers
data elements captured by physicians that describe patient population and their access to healthcare, medication, shelter, food and water
Social Determinants of Health
Open-source data sets from government agencies such as CDC, NIH and AHRQ – free access
Healthdata.gov
The first type of analysis that should be conducted to familiarize yourself with the data
Descriptive Statistics
Data that we are using to answer our research question
Commonly described by calculating the mean, median, standard deviation and range
Continuous Variables
What occurs when data measure falls in a certain range?
Frequency of distribution
An important step in the data analysis process is to determine if data; which refers to the probability of measures failing within a certain range.
Normal Distribution
The statistical procedure adopted to handle continuous data; examines the correlation between 2 variables and is “used to characterize the linear relationship between a dependent and one independent variable”
Simple Linear Regression
What occurs when all observations in a scatter plot fall in a direct line?
Best Fit Line
Least squares regression - simple linear regression fits a straight line/through all of the data points
Best Fit Line
Results indicate there is a significant relationship between US lead and infant birth weight-at all 3 levels of birth weight
Discussion-relationship between US lead and infant birth weight
