For this assignment, students will utilize the information from the Case Study Analysis
Summary Assignment to create an oral presentation in which they summarize and interpret
selected data from the Framingham Heart Study. Interpreting data is a crucial part of practical
biostatistics that shows mastery of data evaluation and implications for application.
In both the summary paper and oral presentations, students will describe the study sample based
on patient characteristics, compare risk factors among men and women, determine which
characteristics are associated with Glucose through simple and multivariable linear regression,
and determine if there are significant differences in risk factors between persons with and
without prevalent coronary heart disease (CHD). Included will be a discussion of the
appropriateness of the data collection methods used in comparison to other methods that could
have been used.
Data are to be concisely interpreted and the resulting summary paper cannot exceed 300 words in
length for each question. The oral presentation may be conducted using audio, YouTube, Adobe
Spark, PowerPoint, or another form of communication file. Video files are optional. The student
will use the provided Case Study Analysis: Interpretation Grading Rubric to evaluate/grade
the case study and report the findings in both written and oral formats.
