**Observational Study Designs**
A clinical pediatric nurse has noticed a rise in childhood asthma diagnoses among the Hispanic population served by the local clinic. The nurse is concerned about this increase in asthma incidence in the patient population and turns to the literature to explore current research on this topic. The nurse finds, through the reading, that there appears to be an association between parental smoking and childhood asthma and wonders if this could be the cause of the rise in cases.
This type of suspected association between a risk factor (exposure) and a particular outcome (childhood asthma) can be evaluated using an observational study design. A relevant case-control study would match a group of controls (no asthma) with the case group (asthma diagnosis). Both groups would then be assessed on certain historical exposures like (a) family history; (b) early childhood respiratory infections; (c) secondhand smoke exposure; (d) urban residence (ozone); and (e) obesity. Measures might include interviews, surveys, and medical records. If results show the case group has a higher rate of exposure to a given risk factor, the researcher may conclude that exposure results in greater odds of asthma.
In any epidemiological study, the design and methodology used should be appropriate for that study and for the research question. It is important for researchers to understand the strengths and limitations of each of the study designs and methods. This gives them a better chance of correctly interpreting results and synthesizing them for use in developing and implementing evidence-based population health programs. For this Discussion, you will explore the strengths and limitations of various types of observational study designs and critique their appropriateness for specific studies.

**To prepare:**
· Review the different types of observational study designs presented in the Learning Resources: ecologic, cross-sectional, case-control, and cohort.
· Carefully examine the characteristics, strengths, and limitations of each design.
· Consider when it is appropriate to use each of the observational study designs.
· Consider how using observational study designs can lead to improvements in population health.
· By Day 1 of this week, you should have received a communication from your Instructor assigning you to a small group to review two specific articles. Review the two articles your group was assigned, with a critical eye toward the researchers’ use of study design and their selected methods. Although several students will be assigned the same articles, this is NOT a group project; please submit your Discussion posts individually. You will then have the opportunity to discuss and share your thoughts with your colleagues.

explore controversial, divisive issues like these. One goal will be to better understand the non-moral “hard facts” that are in the background of the moral issues. With research into the factual aspects of the debate, finding relevant statistics, measurable outcomes, and other data, perhaps we can work closer toward a resolution of debates around these social issues.
As you conduct your research and work on your segment, take some time to think about how to argue for your own position on the issue. Supporting your view will be done in part by the research you’re doing on the non-moral, empirical aspects of the topic. As part of your preparation for this assessment, you will also explore two academic disciplines or professions—psychology, nursing science, counseling, sociology, criminal justice, et cetera—to better contextualize your selected issue. You’ll also need to use ethical concepts—such as values, ethical principles, and ideals—along with ethical arguments to make a convincing case for your stance on the issue
**Create a detailed and engaging PPT. minimum 15 pages, not to include the reference pages**.
1.
**Describe a contemporary social issue associated with multiple viewpoints.**
· Analyze the importance of the issue.
· Present conflicting perspectives impartially.
2.
**Analyze the primary interest(s) of at least three stakeholders invested in a contemporary social issue.**
· Explain at least one key argument associated with each opposing viewpoint.
· Present conflicting perspectives impartially.
3.
**Analyze research findings from different academic disciplines that provide insights relevant to the contemporary social issue.**
· Present conflicting evidence and perspectives impartially.
4.
**Analyze a contemporary social issue from multiple perspectives using one of the three traditional theories of normative ethics.**
· State and defend your own position with clear reasoning in your own words.
· Support your position with a discussion of normative ethical concepts.

Scanerio:
For the past year, Rhonda has been volunteering on a large committee that’s working to refurbish the historical theater in town and plan programming for the following year. When she started at the company, Rhonda identified as male (her gender assigned at birth) and her name was Randy. About five months ago, Rhonda changed her name and gender identity and politely requested her colleagues to use her preferred pronouns: she/her/hers. A fellow volunteer on the committee, Phil, refused to do this. After several weeks of continuing to use Rhonda’s former pronouns, Phil was taken aside by the project director, who asked him to respect Rhonda’s wishes and use her preferred pronouns. Phil refused on the basis that this request is confusing because he’s known Rhonda as Randy for eight years and anyway it violates his free speech rights. If you were the project director and could enforce any outcome you believed ethically correct, what would that outcome be? Refer to critical theory and normative theory to support your position.
In a 4 page scholarly paper appropriate for a professional audience, complete the following:
1.
**Describe the primary interest(s) of at least two stakeholders in the ethical conflict posed by the scenario.**
· Explain how these interests are connected and/or opposed.
2.
**Summarize the key insights of a critical theory applicable to the ethical conflict in the chosen scenario.**
· Explain connections to another critical theory.
3.
**Analyze the ethical conflict(s) in the chosen scenario.**
· Apply one of the following critical theories: feminism, queer theory, critical race theory, postcolonialism, or disability theory.
4.
**Apply a traditional theory of normative ethics to resolve the ethical conflict presented in this scenario.**
· Explain how this resolution satisfies certain aspects of another traditional theory of normative ethics.

Analyze the role nurses play in improving health care quality and safety through the use of evidence-based practice (EBP). How do you see this role being applied in your workplace? What internal stakeholder perspectives would you need to consider, including stakeholder support, in order to successfully implement an EBP project in your workplace?
Initial discussion question posts should be a minimum of 200 words and include at least two references cited using APA format.
