CPH 672 Exam 3 Questions with 100% Verified Answers
UPDATED!!!
A cohort study of 5,621 people was timed to occur before and
after the implementation of a statewide tax on soda in
Mississippi. The study found "a significant decrease in the
average per capita sales of soda; declining from 2.5 drinks per
day one year before the tax to 2.3 drinks per day one year after
the tax was implemented." As a soon-to-be MPH graduate,
what would say about this? - ANSWER With over 5,000 people
being in the analysis, this study probably suffers from a Type 1
error.
A ITSD study of a Community Guide endorsed peer outreach
program found that people spending less than 10 minutes with
peer outreach workers were unlikely to adopt the protective
behavior of annual COVID-19 vaccination. However, those
spending approximately 30 minutes with peer outreach workers
were likely to adopt the protective behavior of annual COVID-19
vaccination (OR = 1.5; 95% CI = 1.1 - 1.4). Further, those
spending approximately 60 minutes with peer outreach workers
were likely to adopt the protective behavior of annual COVID-19
vaccination (OR = 1.87; 95% CI = 1.3 - 2.2). What is your

summary of this? - ANSWER The findings are strong, and made
even stronger by a dose-response relationship between X and Y.
A Markov model was used to describe the steps and progress of
a statewide effort to greatly increase the rates of breast cancer
screening via digital mammography. It was clear in this model
that medical cost savings would be the most substantial for the
very early detection of breast cancer (i.e., stages I and II).
Knowing this, which "link" in the Markov model would you
expect to be identified as critical to success? - ANSWER The
model would need to show a link pertaining to a high yield of
case findings from digital mammography for Stage I and Stage II
breast cancers.
A meta-analysis reports an average odds ratio of 1.4, with a 95%
CI of .99 to 1.83. What do you conclude? - ANSWER The effect is
not important.
A program logic model specifies the need to conduct outreach
events that raise community awareness of a continued need for
vigilance against the spread of COVID-19. From a process
evaluation perspective this implies all of the following, except: -
, Page |3
ANSWER the overarching need to collect data on every "cost
aspect" of the program
Again, look closely at Table 3. Using the probability of being cost
effective at the two thresholds (i.e., 20,00 and 30,00 Euros per
QALY), what do you observe about the various assumptions
being tested in this sensitivity analysis? - ANSWER the cost per
QALY is extremely consistent, irrespective of the various model
assumptions
As a wise process evaluator, Janice wants to know if a citywide
diabetes intervention program (one that had a great effect
size!) could be implemented without the high costs - she wants
to reduce costs by at least one-third. She wisely uses a
combination of process and outcome evaluation to make this
determination. Of the five basic functions of process evaluation,
which one is Janice focused on here? - ANSWER identifying
necessary components
As a wise process evaluator, Janice wants to know if a citywide
diabetes intervention program (one that had a great effect
size!) had equally strong effects for persons living in sub-
standard housing (because much of program was food-based
