Assessment - Data Visualisation, Distribution & Analysis Datasets for Analysis and SPSS Demonstration
Learning Outcome 1: Critically apply the theories on key concepts in descriptive and inferential statistics
Learning Outcome 2: Assess the data and determine the appropriate parametric and non-parametric statistical tests, and how to control for confounding variables
Learning Outcome 3: Evaluate types of inferential statistics and interpret the results of these analyses using theoretical examples or as presented in published literature
Learning Outcome 4: Apply key concepts of statistics, including: sampling, hypothesis testing, distribution of data, validity and reliability, statistical significance and effect size
Instructions:
As part of your Public Health role, you have been asked to perform statistical analysis of a data set from a research project and provide the results of your analysis in abstract form-
This assessment has two parts-
Part 1Demonstrate your ability to use the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences -SPSS- software to perform statistical analysis of a data set-
From the datasets provided, select ONE of three data sets to download and import the Excel data set into SPSS-
You can view the description of the datasets and download the relevant dataset Excel spreadsheet from the Assessment 3 folder of this subject-
While recording the process using screen capture, execute the following statistical processes in SPSS using the following sequence:
1- Generate a boxplot for group A and group B to check for data outliers and remove any outliers from your subsequent analysis, if present-
2- Create a frequency histogram for group A and group B to check the distribution of the data and decide which parametric or non-parametric test is appropriate to compare the two groups-
3- Use the appropriate normality test to determine the distribution of groups A and B, and use the correct inferential statistical test to compare the two groups- Decide if there is a significant difference in the measure of central tendency for the two groups-
Part 2
Write a 250-word abstract to report the findings of Part 1- This should include:
1- Aim: one or two sentences describing the purpose of the research study; a short background to the study is included with each data set-
2- Methods: describe which statistical methods were applied in SPSS
3- Results: report the key summary statistics and P value using conventions required for formal reporting of statistical results
4- Conclusion: briefly describe the significance of your results
ReferencingIt is essential that you use appropriate APA style for citing and referencing research-
Dataset 1You have been asked to analyse body mass index -BMI- data -kg/m2- from a digital health system- The BMI data comes from obese adults taking part in public health lifestyle intervention program of improved diet and exercise -Group A- or obese adults who do not participate in the public health lifestyle intervention program -Group B-- Please compare the outcomes from the data collected at 12 months- Perform the analysis in SPSS while doing audio-video screen recording, and report the findings in abstract format according to the brief-
Dataset 2You have been asked to analyse systolic blood pressure -BP- data -mmHg- from a digital health system- The BP data comes from adults taking part in a public health lifestyle intervention program for smoking cessation and exercise -Group A- compared to adults who still smoke and are not physically active -Group B-- Please compare the outcomes from the data collected at 6 months- Perform the analysis in SPSS while doing audio-video screen recording, and report the findings in abstract format according to the brief-
Dataset 3You have been asked to analyse blood glucose data -mg/dL- from a digital health system- The blood glucose data comes from adults with Type-2 diabetes taking part in a public health lifestyle intervention program with GPs, nutritionists and sports scientists, and involving standard medical care in conjunction with improved diet and an exercise program -Group A- compared to adults with Type-2 diabetes receiving standard medical care only -Group B-- Please compare the outcomes from the data collected at 120 months- Perform the analysis in SPSS while doing audio-video screen recording, and report the findings in abstract format according to the brief-
