Module 8 based on the paper you wrote

An active discussion is the key to an interesting and engaging online course. As others join in the discussion, read what has already been posted and add substantively to the conversation. Time goes quickly, so check the discussions as often as you can to see what others have posted and to respond. Please think about each of the following questions and respond not only to the question but also to what others are saying.

The first question in this discussion is opinion and experience-based, so you can begin immediately.

1. Please share a bit about your final paper. What special population did you select? What does your ideal system look like? What are three important takeaways or lessons that you learned through doing your paper?

For subsequent questions please meaningfully integrate your assigned module readings and video. Please respond to the following questions one at a time and discuss these issues with classmates and your instructor:

2. After reading classmates’ posts, discuss the commonalities that are presented in your ideal systems. What struck you as unique or particularly effective strategies, and why you think these strategies are noteworthy? Discuss how the strategies identified compare to some of the ideas we have been studying over the past seven weeks.

3. Several of the readings addressed inequities and disparities in health services for diverse populations. What inequities or disparities did you discover in your final papers? Do you think we are doing enough in this country to address these? If not, what else should we be doing?

As you do your research about CAM, it is vital to establish what information is credible and reliable. By the time you complete this assignment you should have made some decisions about the credibility and reliability of information related to CAM.

Create an 8- to 10-slide presentation (Microsoft® PowerPoint®, Prezi, etc.) that provides guidance for assessing credibility and reliability of an online source about CAM information. Ensure you:

• Describe how a consumer’s attitudes and beliefs about CAM could affect the assessment of reliability and credibility of source information about CAM.
• Create five objective criteria to evaluate the credibility and reliability of a source of information on CAM. Discuss how you arrived at each criterion and how it can help assess reliability of source information.
• Select a CAM therapy or modality different from the one you selected in Week 1, and do research for information about this therapy or modality.
• Using the five objective criteria you created above, provide a review on one of the websites you found in your search and evaluate the reliability and credibility of the information it presents on CAM. Ensure you:
• Explain how the website met or did not meet each of the criterion you created.
• Describe steps the website could take to increase its credibility, if necessary.
• Include detailed speaker notes and reference citations formatted according to APA guidelines.

Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

I am interested in a chronic disease called alcohol-related liver diseases (ARLD) and its association with alcohol by using the cohort longitudinal study design. ARLD is a disease where damages are done to the liver caused by the long duration of excessive drinking. The alcohol causes the liver to become inflamed and swollen leaving scars on the liver called cirrhosis. A cohort longitudinal study will observe the outcome of diseases on the exposed and unexposed group and comparing the data to understand the risk of the alcohol on ARLD (Osna et al., 2017; Celentano& Szklo, 2019).

The risk factor of ARLD is chronic excessive drinking of alcohol over a long period of time. To asses this factor, two groups will be observed in a laboratory setting, the exposed group are lab rats who consume 5-10 bottles of beer a day for 2 years. The unexposed group will be lab rats who consume a mild to moderate amount of alcohol (1-2 beer a day) for 2 years. Over 2-years, the exposed group developed symptoms of ARLD, such as inflammation and swelling of the liver, fat accumulating around the liver, and liver failure. Therefore, the exposed groups’ relative risk and odds ratio are greater than 1, demonstrating that alcohol is a risk of ARLD (Osna et al., 2017; Celentano& Szklo, 2019).
