PubH 6035 Epidemiology: Uncovering The Science of Public Health – Winter Module 2 Assignment: Descriptive Epidemiology Case Study To complete the assignment, access the following resource: Howlader N, Noone AM, Krapcho M, Miller D, Bishop K, Kosary CL, Yu M, Ruhl J, Tatalovich Z, Mariotto A, Lewis DR, Chen HS, Feuer EJ, Cronin KA (eds). SEER Cancer Statistics Review, , National Cancer Institute. Bethesda, MD, , based on November 2016 SEER data submission, posted to the SEER web site, April 2017. Find the link labeled “Browse the Tables and Figures†and click on it. You should now be at a webpage titled, “Browse the SEER Cancer Statistics Review .†Now, find the information in the SEER Cancer Statistics Review to answer the following questions: Note: All questions are worth 1 point unless otherwise marked.

Hint: Don’t forget to label your answers (for example, when reporting incidence rates the answer should not just be a number, but a number with a label --- not 12.68, but instead, 12.68 cases per 100,000 persons per year). Points will be deducted for missing labels. Overview (Select “Overview†from the Section drop-down menu)

1. What is the lifetime risk (percent) of being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer based on data from for all races? (Table 1.15) _________
2. What is the total percent change in US Cancer Death Rates between for all races, all ages? (Table 1.3) ________ _______
3. Find the 2014 annual incidence rates for Hodgkin lymphoma.
   • a. What was the 2014 annual incidence rate for all races, both sexes? __ _______
   • b. What was the 2014 annual incidence rate for males? __ _________________
   • c. What was the 2014 annual incidence rate for females? ___ _______________
   • d. Describe each of these sex-specific rates for males and females in words by putting these data into a sentence (don’t forget the denominators!). Then, discuss how these two rates compare to each other (for example, which rate is higher? By how much?) Answer in complete sentences. (4 points)
4. Find the annual incidence rates for cervix uteri cancer.
   • a. What was the annual incidence rate for females of all races, all ages? __ ___________________
   • b. What was the annual incidence rate for white females, all ages?__ ____________
   • c. What was the annual incidence rate for black females, all ages? _____________
   • d. Describe each of these race-specific rates for white females and black females in words by putting these data into a sentence (don’t forget the denominators!). Then, discuss how these two rates compare to each other (for example, which rate is higher? By how much?) Answer in complete sentences. (4 points)
5. The rates in this table are age-adjusted, which means that the differences in rates seen between the populations are not due to age. Why is it important to adjust for the effects of age, particularly for cancer incidence and mortality? (3 points)
6. Examine the rates of cervix uteri cancer by year between 1975 and 2014. Is there a pattern to the change in the rates over time? That is, are the rates increasing, decreasing, or staying the same over time? Is this pattern similar in black and white females? Using data from the table to support your answers to these questions, answer in complete sentences. (5 points)
7. Find the 5-Year relative survival (%) for melanoma of the skin (both sexes, all races) by age at diagnosis.
   • a. What was the 5-year relative survival for:
     • i. Age
     • ii. Age 45-54?_______
     • iii. Age 55-64?_______
     • iv. Age 65-74?_______
     • v. Age 75+?_________
   • b. Describe in words these differences in 5-year relative survival by age at diagnosis: (4 points)
   • c. Now look at these same age-specific statistics for males and females. Describe the similarities or differences you see in the 5-year relative survival by age. (4 points)
   • d. Is the information in the table enough by itself to draw conclusions as to why these sex-specific statistics are similar or different? Why or why not? (4 points; explanation needed for full credit)
8. Find the age-adjusted cancer death rates by state for lung and bronchus cancer in males:
   • a. Which state has the highest age-adjusted death rate for males from lung and bronchus cancer? __ __________
   • b. Which state has the lowest age-adjusted death rate for males from lung and bronchus cancer? __ ____________
9. Scroll down to the map of the United States showing the state-specific cancer death rates from lung and bronchus cancers in male.
   • a. In which regions of the United States are the states with the highest cancer death rates generally located? ______ ______
   • b. In which regions of the United States are the states with the lowest cancer death rates generally located? ______________
10. Based on the information provided by this map, how would you geographically target public health strategies to reduce the lung and bronchus cancer death rate in males? What epidemiological evidence does the map provide that is useful? What information does it not provide? Note: Do not just name general prevention strategies. Instead, use the information on the map to inform your answer. Be sure to answer all three questions above. Please answer in complete sentences. (5 points)

Critique of the Immaculate Conception Painting By full name of the artist Name of the Gallery Date visited Name Tutor Course Date Name: Immaculate Conception Medium: Oil Date: 1960 Artist: Bartolome Esteban Murillo Patron: Museo Nacional del Prado The painting, Immaculate Conception is one of the most appreciated artworks of Bartolome Murillo. The painting represents one of the religious controversies of the 18th century. It illustrates his skills of using oeuvre technique (Figueroa, et al 238).

The painting got opposition from the church until 1854 when it was officially accepted as one of the doctrines of religious practice. The iconography of the painting made it difficult for the artists to agree upon. The uses and incorporation of the painting to the religious activities was inspired by the religious reformations of the 17th century: In fact, the story of Virgin Mary inspired the use of the painting. Consequently, the change of perception made the painting to be the standard iconography of the future painters.
