Discuss 2 barriers to accessible health care in your own community.

Write words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.

For the past 10 years, Helping Hands Hospital and the two nearby academic medical hospitals have been doing a great job of serving the population; however, the population is increasing in diversity and expanding into rural locations. These changes have sparked a concern about the ability of individuals to access care. Access to care is a determinant of health, but there are numerous barriers to access. There is an upcoming orientation for new staff, and you have been asked to address the access to care concern. Please include the following:
Discuss 2 barriers to accessible health care in your own community.
Give an example of something a hospital could do to improve access to care for your community.

“Confounding is the term used to describe distortion of the
estimate of the effect of an exposure of interest because it is mixed with the
effect of an extraneous factor. According to Susser, a confounding variable is
“an independent variable that varies systematically with the hypothetical
causal variable under study. When uncontrolled, the effects of a confounding
variable cannot be distinguished from those of the study variable” (Friis &
Sellers, 2014, pg. 445).
In your Week Five assignment, please answer the following
questions:
·
Define confounding and
state how confounding can affect a study’s conclusion. What is meant by
Simpson’s paradox and how does it pertain to confounding? How do epidemiologic
researchers control for confounding?
·
Suppose as an
epidemiologist you are responsible for measuring study participants’ blood
pressure. Some dropped the instrument and the needle on the gauge has been bent
so that the readings are too high. What type of error is this? What type of
error would occur if the instrument is working properly but only one person
took only measurement from each person? How could you minimize each of the
foregoing types of error?
Consider the following scenario to answer questions c through

Evaluative Criteria for Written Assignments

Assignment 2: 500 words Essay.
Write a critical essay that analyses The Wizard of Oz (1939). Following element must be covered.
1- How Todorov narrative theory can be applied on this film? Explain the 5 stages of narrative in this film as per Todorov Theory.
General § Remember, the main purpose of the assignment is to articulate what you regard to be the significance of the work.
§ Be specific and explain exactly what you mean.
§ Provide formal evidence taken from the film to support your argument.
Formatting • 500 words do not include your Works Cited list.
• Your essay must be written in 12-point Times New Roman font and your margins must be set at 1”. The assignment must be double spaced, paginated, with no spaces between paragraphs
• Use your name (last name first) as the name of your file (e.g., Taylor, Aaron.docx). Include your name, date, and course number within the assignment as well.
Research
• As the assignment is a research paper, you must include four to five secondary sources within a works cited list. You must also make direct reference to each of these sources within your paper. Papers without secondary sources cited will receive a failing grade.
• References must be from reputable sources, and must include must include (1) an actual, physical book (or e-book), (2) a journal article, and (3) a professionally produced/academic online publication. Please note again that Looking at Movies does not count as a source. Again, extracts from Google books are NOT permitted.
• Before employing a citation, consider whether or not the quote is useful. Ask yourself:
1) Is this citation simply making an unhelpful evaluative claim about the film’s quality?
2) Is this citation simply describing something that I could easily do in my own words?
3) Is this citation doing any work? – i.e., is it in the service of supporting my argument?
• You will be evaluated on the quality of your own observations and ideas, so do not rely extensively on your secondary sources – i.e., do not rehash someone else’s opinion about a film, and keep your citations to a minimum as well as a minimal length (i.e., 5% of your total word count).

Evaluative Criteria for Written Assignments
Criteria for the assessment of essays are as follows:
§ Clarity and cogency of expression and argument.
§ Clear structuring in terms of introduction, conclusion and signposting the ability to adduce appropriate evidence in support of the argument.
§ Competent and correct use of grammatical, scholarly and research conventions.
§ Demonstration of a clear understanding of the key concepts taught on the course the originality, inventiveness and insightfulness of the argument put forward.
