To introduce concepts related to disease transmission using epidemiologic approach to communicable diseases as a model
To define important terms related to the occurence of disease in a population
To calculate an attack rate and illustrate how to may be used to measure person-to-person transmission of disease
To describe the steps in an outbreak investigation and introduce how cross-tabulation may be used as the source.
Week 2:
To compare different measures of morbidity, including incidence rates, cumulative incidence, attack rates, prevalence, and person-time at risk.

”The material so far has been pretty engaging. When starting a new semester the feeling of being focused and intrigued last the beginning few classes but having the information be well-explained and practicing it together until we have it right has been very encouraging and I feel like it’s helped me be more engaged and waiting to see what’s next.I’m thankful we are covering different terminology and making sure we understand each word including the different contexts it could be used in. This is something I have been wanting to dive more into, of course, since soon we will be hearing different terms being used in the health field. My past classes rarely covered terms, professors often assume or expect us to know it all but the class is a mix of students who are all at different spots, so I appreciate that we move at a similar flow together.”

Critical Thinking Assignment (105 points)
This week we are learning about ordinal/categorical, continuous, and dichotomous variables. Using the Gestation Demographics SEU dataset that is located in the tabs at the bottom of the Framingham dataset provided, perform the following problems using R Studio or Excel.
Create a simple distribution graph (histogram) where we will explore the age of women after giving birth to their first child. Remember that a histogram consists of parallel vertical bars that show the frequency distribution of a quantitative variable in the graph. See the example in Introductory Statistics with R on pages 71-7 or pages 123-124 in EXCEL statistics A quick guide. The area of each bar is equal to the frequency of items found in each class.
Determine the mean age of the women in the Gestation Demographics SEU dataset.
We will be testing the hypothesis that the mean age (μ = μ0) for women is 37 years in the Gestation Demographics SEU dataset. The topic of hypothesis testing was introduced in HCM505. If you need a review see Chapter 7 of our text.
H0 The mean age of women giving birth is 37 years old. (Null Hypothesis)
H1 The mean age of women giving birth is not 37 years old. (Alternative Hypothesis)
Ensure to submit the following requirements for the assignment:
Present your findings in a Word document, by copying and pasting the histogram into the document.
After your analysis state whether you accept or reject the null hypothesis and your reasoning why.
Always use a title page, an introduction, a discussion where you interpret the meaning of the histogram, and a conclusion should be included.
Your submission should be 2–3 pages to discuss and display your findings.
Provide support for your statements with in-text citations from a minimum of two scholarly, peer-reviewed articles. One of these sources may be from the class readings, textbook, or lectures, but the others must be external. The Saudi Digital Library is a good place to find these sources and should be your primary resource for conducting research.
Follow APA 7th edition and Saudi Electronic University writing standards.
Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.
You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading.

Part of the requirements of this class is exercise. As the Catalog Description states, “A combination of physical activity and lecture providing regular exercise to develop physical fitness.”
You are required to exercise 3 times per week.
Each week I will provide 3 recorded yoga classes so you can exercise at home at your convenience.
Each class is approximately 35-50 minutes long.
When you have completed all three classes you will submit your answers to the following questions.
What did you enjoy about each of the three classes? Please designate each class. For example, in Class #1: I enjoyed the feeling of relaxation after I was done taking the class. I enjoyed the shoulder stretches because I have limited movement in my shoulders. I had a difficult time with the one-legged balance. You may discuss specific poses and exercises that you experienced in each of the videos. You will say something about each class. Please talk specifically about the classes so I know you are practicing along with each video.
What was difficult about the class, or did anything hurt? Be specific. For example, in Class #1: I can’t sit cross-legged on the floor. Is there another way I can complete the exercise without my legs hurting? That way I can help. You may also ask a question and I will answer your question in the comments area when I grade your weekly exercise assignment.
Submit your assignment at the end of each module/week.
You may type your answers into the text box, or attach in doc, docx, or pdf.

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) not only lead the way with respect to mortality

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) not only lead the way with respect to mortality rates at a global level but also account for the majority of deaths in high-income countries. According to Bashir (2021), the most common causes of death in Saudi Arabia are ischemic heart disease, road injuries, stroke, chronic kidney disease, lower respiratory tract infections, Alzheimer’s disease, conflict and terror, cirrhosis, neonatal disorders, and diabetes mellitus.
Select one of the causes of death listed above, then assemble a research poster specific to your selected topic and how it progressed to a goal in Saudi Vision 2030. Approach the topic as if you are gathering sources to present this research at a conference. Be sure your references address:
How is your selected cause of death addressed by Saudi Vision 2030?
What are some of the methods in obtaining research and data for shaping KSA policy regarding your selected cause of death?
Any challenges to collecting evidence-based information.
Health policy laws implementing positive social changes in this area of healthcare.
What is the importance of this information?
Why is your selected cause of death relevant to your audience or field of study?
How is it applicable beyond these contexts?
