Week 2 Topic Discussion

[Saranath]

Please provide 5 variables that you plan to collect in your research project. What are they? What are their variable types? How could you summarize them? For example:
Research Title:………………………………………………
PM2.5 level – continuous variable – summarized as mean(SD)
Underlying disease – categorical variable- summarized as proportion (prevalence)

[tullaya.sita]

Research title:factors that impact the adoption of the clinical decision support systems in health care setting
Sex- categorical variables— summarized as proportion
Age- continuous variable – summarized as mean(SD)
Clinical experience – continuous variable – summarized as mean(SD)
Specialty area – categorical variables— summarized as proportion (percentage)
Past experience in using CDSS – categorical variables— summarized as proportion (prevalence)

[Saranath]

I would suggest to modify your title a bit to “Factors influencing the adoption of…”. Term “impact” is quite a strong word.

Can you think about your main outcome variable? How could you measure the adoption of the CDSS? What would be the type of this variable?

[tullaya.sita]

Thank you for your suggestion, Aj Saranath.
The main outcome of this study is the factors influencing the adoption of CDSS that measure by the UTAUT model in 4 aspects. The scores of each aspect are ranked in 5 points Linkert’s scale–continuous variable – summarized as mean(SD)

My Research title is Health impact from pm 2.5 in Chiang Mai, Thailand Year 2020.
Example of 5 variables
1. PM2.5 level – continuous variable – summarized as mean(SD),summarized as mean(SD)
2. Sex – categorical variables— summarized as number and proportion
3. Age – continuous variable – summarized as number and mean
4. Underlying Diseases – summarized as – Categorical variable summarized as rate (incident rate)
5. Risk group – Categorical variable summarized as number, rate (incident rate)

[Saranath]

For your title: If you really want to assess “Health impact”, looking at data of year 2020 alone may not be able to assess the impact. You may consider adding temporal trend into your study (can you get 5- or 10- year data?)

What do you mean by “Risk group”? Could you provide a definition for this variable?
