This is the discussion post:

The St. Fleur family is well respected in the Haitian community because they are religious with great moral values. They moved to the United States because of political issues in Haiti. Ronald, the youngest son of this family, is 27 years old and lives at home with his mother and father. Recently, he began having fevers and subsequently developed pneumonia. He was admitted to the hospital, where laboratory tests were HIV positive. Ronald was in shock when the doctor informed him that he was HIV positive. He confessed to the doctor that he was gay but he could not tell his family. He said that he did not want to bring shame to the family. Because he couldn’t be in a formal relationship owing to his family and the Haitian community’s view of homosexuality, he has been very promiscuous over the years.

1. What are Haitians’ dominant cultural views of homosexuality?
2. If Ronald’s parents were to learn of his positive HIV status, how might they react if they are religious and traditional?
3. Identify three specific culturally congruent strategies to address in designing HIV-prevention practices in the Haitian community.

Design an experiment with one independent variable (with at least two levels) and one dependent variable. Additionally, what levels of measurement would you use when collecting your data?

Example: XYZ hospital wanted to increase compliance of staff using hand sanitizer after every interaction with a patient. In order to gain compliance, they set up a buzzer when staff exited the patient’s room. For the treatment group, a buzzer would ring for 1 second after exiting the room unless staff had pressed the hand sanitizer lever. The control group did not have the buzzer activated, so no sound would emit when exiting the patient’s room.

Independent Variable: Presence of a buzzer sound or not.

Dependent Variable: Number of times the hand sanitizer lever was pressed.

Level of Measurement: Ratio

In your responses to other students, identify a strength or weakness of another student’s example design.

It has long been a requirement for health care workers to take an Introduction to Statistics class. Why is it important for a person working in health care to understand statistical concepts? To answer this question, please provide two specific examples incorporating two different statistical terms from “Visual Learner Statistics” (https://lc.gcumedia.com/hlt362v/the-visual-learner/the-visual-learner-v2.1.html). Do not use the same examples as those in a prior post. You may reference other articles in this topic or conduct your own scholarly research if more statistical terms are needed.
