1) which study design is particularly useful for
increasing the proportion of the study participants who adhere to
the intervention and follow-up procedures?
a. run-in design
b. group randomization
2) in which of the following study designs is the
effect of sample size smaller than the number of individual
participants and power diminished?
a. randomized matched paired design
b. group randomization
3) what type of matching is where the distribution of
the potential confounder is determined for the case group and
controls are selected to match this frequency distribution?
a. frequency matching
b. propensity score matching
Homework Answers
1) Run-in design is particularly useful for increasing the proportion of the study participants who adhere to the intervention and follow-up procedures. Option a is the correct answer.
2) Group randomization study designs are the effect of sample size smaller than the number of individual participants and power diminished. Option b is the correct answer.
3) Propensity score matching is where the distribution of the potential confounder is determined for the case group and controls are selected to match this frequency distribution. Option b is the correct answer.

A graduate student is interested in whether journaling can affect grief and healing. She has participants who have been widowed within the past 10-14 months complete a battery of psychological questionnaires before and after journaling about their daily problems for 2 months. The first time the graduate student conducted this study, she used a repeated-measures design and compared the widows' and widowers' baseline scores with their scores...

1. Researchers study the impact of internalized bias on patient care. Nurses complete a survey which determines a score for their internalized bias from 0-100. Without knowing the internalized bias score, patients are asked to rank the subsequent care they receive from the nurse as poor, fair, good or exemplary. In this study your independent variable is measured at what level of measurement? Ratio Ordinal Nominal Interval 2. A study examines the relationship between interpersonal violence and health in women....
