Learning outcome 1: Critically apply the theories on key concepts in descriptive and inferential statistics

Learning outcome 2: Analyse survey design and sampling methods to collect valid and reliable data and appraise methodologies

Learning outcome 3: Assess the data and determine the appropriate parametric and non-parametric statistical tests, and how to control for confounding variables

Learning outcome 4: Evaluate types of inferential statistics and interpret the results of these analyses using theoretical examples or as presented in published literature

Learning outcome 5: Apply key concepts of statistics, including: sampling, hypothesis testing, distribution of data, validity and reliability, statistical significance and effect size

Instructions:

This assessment requires you to read excerpts from four articles and answer a series of questions in no more than 1,200 words (+/- 10%).

Most public health and wider health science journals report some form of statistics. The ability to understand and extract meaning from journal articles, and the ability to critically evaluate the statistics reported in research papers are fundamental skills in public health.

This type of assessment demonstrates how students can apply the skills that they learn in this course to real-world scenarios wherein they might need to interpret/review articles for public health use.

After reading published research articles, you will be asked to interpret, describe and report the following types of statistics:

• State the null and alternative hypothesis
• Detail the demographic characteristics of the people in a sample
• Report summary descriptive and inferential statistics reported in the paper
• Describe what inferential statistics were used for the analysis of data in a study and why
• Interpret the odds ratios or hazard ratios for reported outcomes
• Evaluate the impact design limitations described by the researchers have on study or the extent to which results can be generalized to the population

Please download the excerpts of these papers from the Assessment 2 folder of this subject.

It is essential that you use appropriate APA style.
