This is the variable you manipulate.
Independent Variable
This type of study involves researchers watching and recording behaviors
Observational Design or Descriptive Design
Differences between baseline characteristics of the groups being observed that have nothing to do with the intervention/treatment.
Selection Bias
This law passed in 1996 regulates the treatment of animals in research, teaching, testing, exhibition, transport, and by dealers.
Animal Welfare Act
These include:
1. Monitor health status to identify and solve community problems
4. Mobilize community partnerships to identify and solve health problems.
7. Link people to needed health services and assure provision
What are the 10 essential public health services.
These are variables you hold constant in the study.
Controlled variables
This type of research is focused on finding a solution to a problem
Applied
These are differences in how you measure your outcomes.
Detection Bias
This law passed in 2009 provides a baseline level of protection against genetic discrimination for all Americans.
GINA or Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act
Assisting with the redesign of diagnostic and laboratory services to incorporate new genome-based technologies falls under this 10 Essential Public Health Services
# 2. Diagnose and investigate health problems and hazards in the community.
These are variables you are not testing that can have an effect on the independent variable only.
Extraneous variable
This type of research involves manipulating one or more variables to see how it effects the outcomes.
Experimental design
These are differences in the population that withdraws or gets taken out of the study.
Attrition Bias
This 1996 law protects genetic information, labeling it protected health information (PHI).
HIPAA
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
These include: Preventing epidemics and the spread of disease and promoting and encouraging healthy behaviors and mental health
What are the 6 foundational purposes of public health
This variable is your outcome.
Dependent Variable
This design is used what you cannot manipulate a variable. Instead you study naturally occuring differences between two groups.
Quasi-experimental
These are systematic errors that ultimately results in a deviation from the truthful results on the study.
Bias
This law passed in 1996 prevents federal funding of research involving the creation or destruction of human embryos.
Dickey-Wicker Amendment
One way genetics / genomics plays a roll in this foundational purpose of public health is to identify the remains of victims.
These are variable you are not testing that can have an effect on the independent and dependent variables.
Confounding Variables
This type of research makes use of evidence-based data
Empirical
Differences in the care provided or exposures to other factors besides the intervention. This could be differences in time, treatment, attention.
Performance Bias
This regulation notes research in which human cells are introduced into non-human vertebrate animal embryos will not be funded by NIH
Notice Number: NOT-OD-15-158
NIH Research Involving Introduction of Human Pluripotent Cells into Non-Human Vertebrate Animal Pre-Gastrulation Embryos
Determining the appropriate use of genomic applications through standards and guidelines that recognize the complexity of genomics and define when and how genome-based information and technologies should be used to promote health and prevent disease including in the clinical setting fall under this 10 essential Public Health Services
What is # 5. Develop policies and plans that support individual and community health efforts
