True or False? Population health focuses on the outcomes and determinants of
health in groups of humans. - ANSWER: True
Which of the following points toward the selection of key indicators that would
provide evidence for the success of the intervention? - ANSWER: PICOT
Which of the following, related to the candidate question, will assist the researcher
in determining what is already known about the topic and what new information a
new study could contribute? - ANSWER: Literature review
What type of research evaluates the best ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat
adverse health issues that affect individuals and families? - ANSWER: Clinical
research
Demography is often used as a tool in what type of research? - ANSWER: Population
health research
What database, developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, can be helpful
for identifying the full extent of a research area and for narrowing the scope of a
research area? - ANSWER: MeSH
True or False? The goal of concept mapping is to create a long list of possible
research topics. - ANSWER: False
True or False? Questions derived from practice often point toward an unmet
demand for needs assessments, program evaluations, and clinical effectiveness
studies. - ANSWER: True
Critical reading involves asking a series of questions about what aspect of a study in
order to ascertain how well a particular study was designed, conducted, interpreted,
and reported and to assess how likely it is that the resulting paper presents the truth
about a particular research question in a particular population at a particular place
and time? - ANSWER: Internal validity
What is a good way to evaluate if a new research project is likely to be successfully
completed? - ANSWER: Feasible study
, True or False? A goal or objective statement for a clinical or population health
research project usually states the exposures, diseases or outcomes, and/or
populations that will be the focus of the study. - ANSWER: true
True or False? For a research project to be considered original, it needs to have only
one substantive difference from previous work. - ANSWER: true
True or False? When writing independent objectives, the specific aims should be
interrelated and dependent on one another. - ANSWER: false
Because many peer-reviewed journals are not included in the databases, especially
journals in languages other than English, which search engine may be helpful for
identifying additional relevant abstracts? - ANSWER: google scholar
Which of the following is sketched out using boxes and arrows that illustrate the
various relationships that will be evaluated during the study? - ANSWER: conceptual
framework
Which database is sponsored by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and features
only journals that have applied for inclusion and passed through a review process? -
ANSWER: midline
True or False? The only way to truly understand a study is to read the full text of the
article. - ANSWER: true
At what point should the researcher identify three or more specific objectives that
stem from the main study goal? - ANSWER: After finalizing the overarching study
goal
True or False? When the entire 95% confidence interval is less than 1, the odds ratio
is statistically significant and the exposure is deemed to be protective in the study
population. - ANSWER: true
What type of table is used in case-control studies to compare two dichotomous
(yes/no) variables? - ANSWER: two by two table
True or False? Primary studies are often time-consuming because they require the
collection of new data from participants. - ANSWER: true
True or False? The variables used as matching criteria must be considered as
exposures during analysis. - ANSWER: false
Which of the following is the measure of association that readers will expect to be
reported for a case-control study? - ANSWER: odds ratio
