Measuring Morbidity: Calculating Prevalence and Incidence Rates for HIV in Community X Title: Measuring Morbidity: Calculating Prevalence and Incidence Rates for HIV in Community X In January 2012,
Morbidity is a term used to describe the unhealthy state of an individual (e.g., individual with diabetes) or within a population (e.g., the incidence of seasonal flu). Whereas mortality is the rate of death in population. Both terms are applied in epidemiology at the individual level and across a population. In public health, surveillance plays an essential role. Surveillance is carried out for many reasons, such as monitoring changes in disease frequency or monitoring changes in the levels of risk factors. Much of the information that is obtained about mortality and morbidity comes from surveillance.
For this assignment, examine prevalence and incidence to measure morbidity for a disease. Read the scenario below and complete the assignment as instructed.
Scenario
In Community X (population 20,000), an epidemiologist conducted a prevalence survey in January of 2012 and reported an HIV prevalence of 2.2%. Over the next 12 months, the department of health reported an additional 50 new HIV cases between February 2012 and January 2013. The total population stayed constant at 20,000.
Assignment Instructions
How many people had HIV in January 2012? Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer.
Calculate the incidence rate assuming no HIV-related deaths over the 12-month period. Present or describe the formula you used to arrive at your answer. Be sure to clearly indicate the numerator and denominator used in your calculation and include an appropriate label for the rate.
In a summary of 200-250 words, interpret the results and discuss the relationship between incidence and prevalence. Discuss whether or not the epidemiologist should be concerned about these new HIV infections, assuming a previous incidence rate of 0.5 per 1,000 person-years prior to this updated risk assessment.
You are required to cite to a minimum of three sources to complete this assignment. Sources must be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment criteria and public health content. -

Title: Strategic Analysis of Levi’s Case and CCTC’s Proposal
After reading the Levi’s Case from our textbook, respond to the following prompts in one to five sentences:
Based on the information in the case (and as of the case’s date, Early 2000’s)
What is Levi’s strategy?
Where is Levi’s on spectrums of differentiation and cost leadership? What are other important elements of Levi’s strategy? Would these change under CCTC’s proposal?
How is Levi’s able to differentiate?
Which source(s) of differentiation are relevant (see Chapter 5 and Table 5.2 of textbook for sources)?
Which of Levi’s capabilities/resources are most important for maintaining a differentiation advantage?
Evaluate the external environment and its strategic implications at two levels:
Broader industry: apparel manufacturers
Specific industry: jeans manufacturers
How attractive is its industry what are the key industry forces and success factors?
Do any major manufactures of jeans (with substantial market share) have broader product offerings (e.g. jeans < 50% of total revenue) Should Levi widen their offering offerings (if so to where) based on the analysis of its competitors (both those who are focused and diversified) Analyze CCTC’s proposal & its impact on Levi’s participation in the value chain? What does the value chain look like for Levi’s with & without the CCTC offer? How else could Levi’s adjust its participation in the value chain? Evaluate potential outcomes - Do Levi’s resources/capabilities support implementing CCTC’s offer; what are the strategic and financial upside and downside and how certain are the outcomes (e.g. impact of external environment change, reliability of the cost savings estimates, etc.) -
Title: Unethical Use of Techniques in Group Counseling: Concerns and Solutions for Beginning Counselors
This video clip identifies ways leaders might employ techniques unethically. Provide feedback on the cli[p and then answer the following:
As beginning group counselors, what are some of your concerns about the ethical use of techniques? If you observed your co-leader misusing a technique and were concerned that it could harm group members, what would be an appropriate way to address this issue?

Literature Review: Understanding the Pathogenesis and Influential Factors of a Selected Pathogen Avoiding Plagiarism: Understanding the Importance of Rewording and Citations
The major objective of this assignment is to do a current literature review on a pathogen relevant to our class using peer reviewed literature. We are trying to understand how pathogens work and how social, economic and environmental factors influence disease processes. Note: A literature review is NOT a laundry list of papers and their summaries. Instead, it is an explanation of the different aspects of the topic using a variety of sources. NOTE: When writing this paper, assume I am otherwise am ignorant of the medical profession. Remember to explain any relevant medical terms to me. Grading Rubric I am looking to see whether you covered the topic in enough detail to show you had a good understanding of the subject. A minimum of seven peer reviewed articles are required for this paper. Additional reliable sources are welcome. Abstract (5 points): This is a brief summary of your paper (usually about 200-250 words). This is NOT a preview of a paper. You are literally telling me what you discussed throughout the entire paper. I usually write this last because then I know what I wrote in my paper! Introduction (5 points): What is the main idea of this paper? Preview what you will be discussing in this paper. If you are confused about the difference between an abstract and introduction, read through some of the papers you are using throughout the course to understand the difference. I have also put up example literature reviews. Body (65 points): Show me that you really learned about all of the aspects of infection and disease we discussed in our course. Break down your subject into major areas with subheadings. Make sure it is obvious to me why each subheading is relevant to the main idea of your paper. Required subsections (you can put them in an order that makes sense to you and flows the best): Pathogen/agent of infection (5 points) (ex: this is a protist called Plasmodium falciparum…) (Please italicize species names) Invasive strategies and Immunology (10 points): What is responsible for the symptoms, including any virulence mechanisms (defensive/offensive), relate this to what your immune system may be doing to fight this off/problems the immune system may run into Disease process (10 points): including incubation stage (if applicable), the symptoms of the prodromal stage, illness stage, convalescence, and decline. The cycle of this microbial disease (10 points): (pathogen, reservoir, transmission, portal of entry, portal of exit) Prevention/Diagnosis/Current treatments (10 points): include what the outlook is for someone with the disease and whether it can be cured Social, economic and environmental factors (20 points): Include at least two factors that influence this infectious disease that we’ve covered this semester with details. For example, is being poor something that contributes to this disease, is this more common during natural disasters, are there issues with this being resistant to medication, is this a nosocomial infection, is globalization a threat to making this a pandemic, etc.? Conclusion (5 points): What were your overall findings after doing this review? Why do you think this review was important? 4-Final References and citations (10 points): I reserve the right to fail you (so go beyond these points) if the citations are so bad it is considered academic plagiarism! Reference page (5 points): References must include at minimum seven peer reviewed journal articles. If you would like to use additional sources (such as textbooks or government websites), you can, provided you have at least seven journal articles. I do not want the majority of your information coming from other types of sources because then it is not a review of recent research. NOTE: In my opinion, the only good website sources end in .gov (such as OMIM, CDC, WHO, NCBI, etc.). This means if you use anything other than a website ending in .gov, I will not think it is a good source and deduct serious points from your paper. In-text Citations and Rewording ideas (5 points): Nothing should be cut or pasted from sources. Everything should be reworded. I should see in-text citations everywhere that is not information from your own head. Remember, if you don’t reword, I can’t tell whether you understand the topic. Look at what is highlighted on Turn it in. I don’t care about the percent, I care about whether sentences or large portion of sentences match the original source! Nothing except in-text citations and references should match.
