This assignment is based on both articles for the week, Implementing an Evidence-Based Metabolic Syndrome Prevention and Treatment Program Utilizing Group Visits and Hospital Rates of People Living with HIV in the United States, 2009. Implementing an Evidence-Based Metabolic Syndrome Prevention and Treatment Program Utilizing Group Visits In this study, the researchers looked at changes in patients understanding of risk factors associated with metabolic disease and changes in habits to decrease those risks. Through a model curriculum, participants were provided information about how their decisions were influencing the development and progression of metabolic disease. . This is an interesting study because here we see the use of both repeated measures t-tests as well as independent t-tests. How did the researchers use both types of t-tests in light of the fact that we discussed you should choose one or the other? Discuss the sample size in the Sumter County sample. Using a a source, discuss the validity of the design with just 5 participants? In the article, the authors indicate that some data are positively-skewed. Discuss the meaning of that, and why would the skew of data interfere with using it in the t-tests? (In your response, consider the distribution of the test statistic). Hospital Rates of People Living with HIV in the United States, 2009 The authors use confidence intervals (CI) throughout their results. Using an example from the article, explain the meaning of the CI for the specific case you selected. How could you decrease the range of a confidence interval? Review Figure 1 carefully. Notice that the CI is given as whiskers on the plot. Using the data in the text about this figure and the overlapping nature of the confidence intervals and the means, explain why there is a significant difference between Black and White but not White and Hispanic. In Table 2 the authors present data surrounding the hospitalization rates based on sex both by OIs (preventable and non-preventable). Research the rate ratio and discuss it for the preventable OIs data. Construct an appropriate graphical representation of the data in Table 2
