Tuition Rates

/in /by

You have been hired by Nobody State University (NSU) as a consultant to help the university with how to increase their total revenue. The university has been struggling in recent years, so they have hired you to help them in their last attempt to find an appropriate solution so that the university can survive. 

 

Raise or Lower Tuition? Suppose that, in an attempt to raise more revenue, Nobody State University increases its tuition. 

 

Assess a raise in tuition and if it will necessarily result in more revenue.

Describe the conditions under which revenue will (a) rise, (b) fall, or (c) remain the same.

Explain the process of revenue at NSU, focusing on the relationship between the increased revenue from students enrolling at NSU despite the higher tuition and the lost revenue from possible lower enrollment.

If the true price elasticity were (-1.2), discuss what you would suggest the university do to expand revenue.

Using what you have learned in this course, explain how you would resolve this problem if you were the President of NSU.

 

In a three- to five-page paper (not including title and reference pages), provide subheadings or separate paragraphs for each of the questions listed to help focus your paper for the executives that have requested it. Support your paper with at least two academic sources from the Ashford Library.

 

You are required to format you paper according to APA style guidelines

What are the differences between outcome objectives and communication objectives?

What are the differences between outcome objectives and communication objectives?

 

Communication objectives are steps that are taking in between to accomplish overall program goals as completed by detailed behavioral, social, and organizational objectives (Schiavo, 2014). Communication objectives are implemented to raise awareness, increase knowledge, end the cycle of misinformation, change opinion, belief, or decision, facilitate interactions, improve and enhance skills (Schiavo, 2014). Outcome by communication objectives is driven from the many parts of the process of change where communication can be effective. The difference between the outcome objectives and communication objectives is that the communication objectives should be very detailed and outline exactly what the outcome should be, which will determine if an objective has been met. SMART is a great model to develop measurable outcomes of communication objectives that can be used to receive specific program goals and achievements.

 

Develop an example of each type of objective for a health issue of your choice.

An example of a health issue example under the communication objective for Childcare and Education Obesity Prevention Program would include:

 

  • Raise awareness by getting communities, schools, and parents to incorporate healthy eating habits and provide healthier meals, and physical activity efforts for children even if it just walking for 10 to 20 minutes per day.
  • To Increase knowledge by improving the Early Care and Education environment of Day Cares and other child care and early education services to provide information on what children should eat, drink, and how active they should be as well as educating workers and individuals on ways to help children develop healthy habits for life (“Childhood Overweight and Obesity,” 2018).
  • Breaking the cycle of misinformation by implementing surveillance systems that will monitor health care issues on obesity in children and provide feedback on whether this healthcare issue is improving or failing.
  • To Change behaviors by implementing affordable nutrition programs and SMART goals so that information provided to parents, teachers, schools, are specific, measurable, actionable, realistic, and time-bound which will help maintain motivation in decreasing obesity.
  • To facilitate interactions by engaging and focusing on obesity prevention struggles in childhood obesity while trying to implement additional methods of prevention that are much more extensive than dieting and exercise.
  • To build expertise and skills by the constant continuation of education and social marketing strategies to increase the knowledge and skills of individuals associated with weight change that will promote promising responses to changes at the environmental or policy level (Wolfenden, 2020).

Porter Five Forces Model Representation and Application Discussion

/in /by

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

 

Students will choose a local health care system and juxtapose the system with the strategy theory and organizational structure and Power Point presentations supporting the Strategy model. Special attention should be paid to the first article in the HBR “HBR’s 10 Must Reads, On Strategy”. It is expected the student will read the entire array of articles in this book for support. Related Power Point presentations will be provided in the assignment section.

First. Try to explain the five forces model. What doed it represent and how can it be applied generically. Then, choose a hospital syztem in a given context and apply it directly. Specifically identify the different facets and explain tbe competitive position of the system.

Race and Public Health Significant Predictors of Diseases Discussion

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

 

There are various forms of bias, but the two major types are selection bias and information bias. Selection bias is when a group or individual is selected, and it is apparent that their selection is not due to randomization. For example, during a case study, 20 individuals were asked to participate in a survey, where 8 individuals are positive for a disease and the other 12 are negative. In this case, the research would use selection bias to pick the 8 positive individuals to prove their data, but it is obvious that randomization did not work. Information bias is when inaccurate data is measured to give flawed data. For example, during a controlled experiment, some of the controlled individuals were classified as exposed, while some of the exposed individuals were classified as the control, which makes the data for the experiment inaccurate (Celentano& Szklo, 2019).

The article I chose is called how to avoid bias in systematic reviews of observational studies by Almeida & Goulart. The article discussed how bias emerges in a systematic review by selection bias, information bias, and confounding bias. To minimize these occurrences of bias, the funnel plot technique (visual aid in detecting bias), statistical tests, and using communication tools to get in contact with researchers to get more details on primary data is effective. Utilizing more than one reviewer to independently collect and analyze data from primary studies and using comparable methodological quality to allow the identification of biases (Almeida & Goulart, 2017).

Additionally, bias can originate due to multiple steps of an investigation or from a retrospective cohort where bias arises due to missing information due to using existing records or selecting the individuals after an outcome has already occurred. To prevent this researchers must try their best in improving the design and applying statistical techniques when evaluating the results. Establishing a follow-up procedure to keep records of all variables to prevent missed information. Designing studies by including confounding variables from the beginning, matching by age and gender and including adjustment techniques (Ramirez-Santana. 2018).

Inferences based on data with bias provides inaccurate results with missing information. Therefore, the result will not be valid or credible for use. Additionally, if the data interpreted was biased with false information and that biased result was used to make a drug, people ingesting that drug can be killed, because the formula might be incorrect and the drug might be deadly for the human body or the dosage might be too strong/lethal.

Confounding Variables Affecting the Dependent & Independent Variable Discussion

/in /by

I’m studying for my Health & Medical class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

 

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING WORD LIMIT REQUIREMENTS:

Please note that each and every assignment has its own word limit.

 

Bias is a form of prejudice where a group or individual is treated unfairly compared to others. For example, racial bias, which is one race being treated unfairly in a situation compared to another race. Confounding is when distortion is created between the exposed and outcome because of another variable. The criteria for establishing a confounding is the connection between if exposure A is a cause of the disease B. For example, is the factor a known risk for causing the disease B and is the factor associated with exposure A, but is not a result of exposure A. For example, during a study, it showed that increased coffee drinking increases the risk of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic cancer is diagnosed with 28,000-30,300 individuals per year with a low survival rate of 19% in 1-year and 4% in 5 years. However, due to confounding, a third variable appeared, which is smoking, such as increased coffee drinking leads to smoking, which leads to increased risk of pancreatic cancer. This shows that the confounding factor affects the diseases but can be associated or not with coffee drinking (Celentano& Szklo, 2019; center for diseases control and prevention, 2019).

A way to establish adjustment in a confounding relationship is stratification when the number of factors available is limited. For example, the textbook demonstrated a situation where smoking is a risk for lung cancer, but air pollution could be a factor. Lung cancer is a serious illness that has many factors, where approximately 235,000 new cases of lung cancer appears each year, with 14% of newly discovered cancers being lung cancer, with approximately 155,000 deaths per year. Therefore, using stratification, the researchers compared the rate of lung cancer in urban community in smokers and nonsmokers. If the rate of lung cancer is higher in smokers compared to nonsmokers, then smoking is the factor. However, if more lung cancer rate is higher in nonsmokers than smokers, then air-pollution is the factor (Celentano& Szklo, 2019; American cancer society, 2020).
