Title: “Assessing the Validity and Reliability of a Scale for Measuring Complex Concepts: A Case Study on Stress, Discrimination, and Quality of Life”
Quantitative research is the process of collecting and analyzing numerical data. It can be used to find patterns and averages, make predictions, test causal relationships, and generalize results to wider populations.
The third step of the research process is designing the study and collecting data. The most common method for collecting quantitative data is the survey or questionnaire. In this module, you will learn about using a validated scale to collect accurate information. Then you will draft a survey instrument for your Scholar Practitioner Project.
Complex concepts like stress, discrimination, and quality of life can be difficult to measure. For these issues, you cannot ask just one question. You must ask multiple questions, in different ways. A validated scale is a series of questions about a concept that has been proven to work in the field because it has been tested for reliability and validity and retested in a variety of settings and populations. Examination of a validated scale can assist you in wording questions for a survey instrument, determining the appropriate order of questions, and understanding levels of measurement (ordinal, categorical, and/or continuous) that are used to measure a complex concept.
The Assignment
Using the scale handout provided, address the following: Describe the primary concepts being explored.
Identify levels of measurement for each item (categorical, ordinal, continuous).
Evaluate reliability and validity of the scale. You will need to do research in scientific literature to evaluate findings from studies that have used this scale.
Evaluate strengths and limitations of the scale.
Explain changes that might be needed to use the scale in a developing versus a developed country. -

Title: “Building a Healthier Future: A Structural Intervention for K-12 Students in Mexico”
Design a structural intervention outside of the United States to either a) reduce a health problem or b) increase a healthy behavior.
Describe the specific community you are targeting
The type of structural level intervention you would use (e.g., availability, acceptability, accessibility).
What your intervention would look like in practice?
How you would measure success?
Example response:
1. Describe the specific community you are targeting
My ideal intervention would be targeted towards K-12 students in Mexico’s school system. I am generalizing because I am not fully aware of the current situation in between the various different states within Mexico, I would make sure to remain educated in regards to their relationships with
one another as well as their overall health and well being in order to ensure fair and proper allocation of resources. Ideally, I would wish to target states with higher rates of poverty, chronic illness, and mortality rates.
2. The type of structural level intervention you would use (e.g., availability, acceptability, accessibility).
I would say that availability is my main goal/priority in terms of structure for this intervention. My goal is to expand the availability of resources for those communities whose overall health and well-being are greatly affected by the lack of tools and settings. By measuring our allocation
of resources and ensuring that such resources are consistently being offered, we can ensure that this intervention will provide excellent results in the long-run!
3. What your intervention would look like in practice?
My intervention consists of three different phases, all conducted at different ages/grade levels that best pertain to human development. Given how kids spend a big portion of their time at school, I believe that incorporating my intervention into their curriculum would be the easiest
and most efficient way of making sure every individual has access to such resources. My proposed phases consist of the following:
● Phase #1 (Kinder-3rd grade) –
○ Students will be taught basic/core food identification.
○ Students will be taught the importance and benefits of daily playtime.
● Phase #2 (4th-6th grade) –
○ Students will undergo more interactive learning (similar to myplate.gov).
○ Physical education classes will be implemented into their daily schedules.
○ Students will be offered health and wellness workshops with professional
speakers monthly.
○ Student-led projects and presentations will be encouraged to demonstrate mastery
and establish consistency.
● Phase #3 (7th-12th grade) –
○ Students will be offered a variety of fitness courses that will help them learn
different ways to remain active.
○ Sports programs will begin to be implemented at schools.
○ Students will be offered cooking classes to ensure proper nutrition and safe food
handling.
Considering that the older children may not have gone through such interventions and assuming no previous knowledge, I think that offering workshops that cover some core content from phases #1-3 at no cost to the community will be greatly beneficial.
4. How you would measure success?
A part of my intervention would consist of ensuring consistent medical check-ups, so I believe that results would be reflecting at a more long-term scale. Given how many individuals with Hispanic/Latinx backgrounds are known to develop chronic diseases (e.g. Mexicans being prone
to diabetes), routine testing would help with tracking and it would come to show whether or not

“Addressing the Impact of Poverty on Cardiovascular Health in the U.S.: Identifying Risk Factors and Implementing Community and Policy Solutions” “Addressing Modifiable and Nonmodifiable Risk Factors for Coronary Artery Disease in Lower Socioeconomic Status Communities”
In this week’s discussion, you will discuss how poverty in the U.S. increases morbidity and mortality for people of lower socioeconoic status (SES) . 1. You can choose a condition like heart disease, stroke, COPD, cancer, respiratory diseases, etc.
2. Find at least 2 modifiable risk factors and 2 nonmodifiable risk factors that can increase a person’s risk of this condition. 3. What changes can be made at the community, society, and/or policy levels that could help decrease risk or increase a person’s chances of being able to make better choices. You can add more detail as you see fit. Keep in mind that although we may work with clients directly on occasion, that is not what we normally do in public health. We look at the entire community and try to identify ways that will help everyone rather than one person. Telling a person to eat healthier will NOT meet public health goals. 4. You will need to respond to 2 of your fellow students (I will label Peer #1 and Peer #2).
Peer #1:
Atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction are two cardiovascular diseases that have a significant negative influence on the health of a lot of people. We will examine these illnesses, assess risk factors, talk about the impact of poverty in the United States, and provide recommendations for potential preventative measures against atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction.
When plaque accumulates in the coronary arteries, it can obstruct blood flow to the heart, causing myocardial infarction (MI), sometimes called a heart attack. A similar ailment is called atherosclerosis, in which plaque—a mixture of fat, cholesterol, calcium, and other materials—accumulates within the arteries. The body’s organs and tissues receive less blood flow due to the arteries hardening and narrowing.
Atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction are linked to both controllable and nonmodifiable risk factors. Smoking and leading a sedentary lifestyle are two variables that may be changed to lower risk. These risks can be decreased by quitting smoking and making regular physical exercise part of one’s routine. Genetics and aging are two non-modifiable risk factors; anyone with a family history of heart disease should be aware of their elevated risk.
Individuals with lower socioeconomic status (SES) have more excellent rates of sickness and death in the United States due to poverty. This demographic is particularly vulnerable due to several factors, including restricted access to preventative treatment, insufficient healthcare services, poor information about healthy living, exposure to environmental risks, and general stress from financial worries.
Changes in community-based organizations, public awareness campaigns, and social programming targeted at lowering poverty levels are necessary to combat myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis in society. New policies prioritizing access to preventative health services for all populations—regardless of SES—must also be developed. By providing readily available materials for managing and preventing cardiovascular problems, these initiatives seek to empower individuals by educating them about their health concerns.
To sum up, myocardial infarction and atherosclerosis are two cardiovascular diseases that affect a person’s health, as well as highlighting the part that poverty and socioeconomic position play in preventing disease. Together, we can reduce the prevalence of these diseases by tackling the systemic problems related to poverty and healthcare access, as well as the modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors associated with these ailments. We can work toward a future where everyone has equal access to the resources needed to prevent and manage cardiovascular conditions, ultimately fostering a healthier population as society embraces comprehensive changes at various levels – from community organizations to policy creation.
Peer #2:
Heart disease refers to several types of heart conditions. The most common in the U.S. being coronary artery disease (CAD), which affects blood flow to the heart and can lead to a heart attack. Key risk factors for CAD are high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Other risk factors for CAD are diabetes, obesity, poor diet, physical inactivity, and excessive alcohol use. All these risk factors are modifiable. The nonmodifiable risk factors are gender, age, race, and family history. Lifestyle changes is a modifiable risk factor that individuals in a lower SES have difficulty with. They do not have the means to purchase healthy fruits and vegetables, plant-based proteins, or low carb foods, as they are more costly. Most people with lower SES live in areas with higher crime rates, thus running or walking in these areas is often not a possibility. As obesity and physical inactivity are huge modifiable factors for heart disease, it is very difficult for someone in a lower SES to address. Diet programs, exercising in a safe area, and nutritionists cost money that is not available to them, which increases morbidity and decreases mortality. There are YMCAs in the city, but they are costly to join. If our government could mandate that anyone on Medicare and or Medicaid would have access to these facilities for free, it would be a huge help to those living in lower SES to increase their physical activities. Also, if local health departments would add nutritionists for adults with risk factors, it would benefit those in need. Two nonmodified risk factors I would like to address is age and family history. 80% of deaths from heart disease happen to those aged 65 or older. If senior citizen facilities would add education, transportation to and from these facilities and maybe even healthy meals, it would greatly increase mortality to older individuals. This could be accomplished by passing a levy to increase the monetary amount allotted to senior citizen facilities, which would benefit all seniors, regardless of their socioeconomic status. Most of individuals living in lower socioeconomic areas are single parents. The importance of family history is vital regarding heart disease, as it can be hereditary. With education, the importance of family history can increase mortality and decrease morbidity, as preventative measures can be taken. This education can be provided by the local health department. Parent Teachers Associations can coordinate this and present the education at the school, so all who want can attend. This information can even be sent home with students. It is not a costly endeavor; it just takes time and coordination. This can help individuals of lower SES to make better, more informed choices.
