Professor Hatts is looking to form a team of crime fighting superheroes and superheroines. He looks around his local campus for students with extraordinary superpowers. Scarlett, a student who seems quite impressive, asks to join the team. Professor Hatts says “yes” and lets Scarlett know that she will have to pay rent for the nice apartment, which Professor Hatts will lease to her at a very low rate of $30 per month (far below the market rate); and all of the rent is to be paid at the end of the lease. Scarlett agrees. After a few months, Professor Hatts learns that Scarlett had recently turned 17. For insurance reasons, Professor Hatts removes Scarlett from the team and demands that she pay back the $25 for the cost of the uniform (which she can keep) and $90 for the housing she received. Upset, Professor Hatts also demands $100 in punitive damages because Scarlett had not volunteered the information that she, a college junior, was, when she entered her agreement with Professor Hatts, only 16 years old. How much will Professor Hatts recover from Scarlett?

Adrian is about to graduate from UF and has just signed her first contract for employment with a private company, X Corp. Adrian realizes that there is a clause in her contract, drafted by X CORP, that prohibits her from speaking about the trade secrets that X CORP uses. Adrian believes that this clause violates rights under the First Amendment. Therefore, Adrian tells some of her friends at school about the company and the wording of the contract; however, she does not say anything else about X CORP, its customers, or what it does. Adrian does not know that her friend Ryan’s father is the head of X CORP. Ryan tells her father about what Adrian has said, and he immediately fires Adrian. Would Adrian have a case against X CORP under the rights granted in the First Amendment?

Which of the following represents the numeric value of a relative comparison measure if the exposure prevents disease?

Which type of studies are one of the ways that epidemiologists investigate the effect of place on disease occurrence?

Which of the following is a method of sampling a population in which researchers identify and enroll cases of disease and a sample of the source population that gave rise to the cases?

A logical error that stems from applying group-level characteristics to individuals.

A type of study design done by collecting data on employment or medical records, usually from which one can go back and “create” the cohort of at-risk folks, measure their exposure status at that time, and then “follow” them and note who became diseased.

Which of the following is useful for estimating the needs of medical facilities and allocating resources for treating people who already have a disease?

Suppose that you began a 1-year study of tuberculosis (TB) infection among nursing home residents in Washington State on January 1, 2021. You enrolled 500 residents in your study and checked their TB status monthly. At the start of your study on January 1, you screened all 500 residents. Upon screening, you found that 20 of the healthy residents were immigrants who were vaccinated for TB and so were not at risk. Another 30 residents already had existing cases of TB on January 1. On February 1, 5 residents developed TB. On April 1, 5 more residents developed TB. On June 1, 10 healthy residents left the nursing home and were lost to follow-up. On July 1, 10 of the residents who had existing TB on January 1 died from their disease. The study ended on December 31, 2021. Assume that once a person gets TB, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up.  Answer the following questions. Each question below is worth 3 points each. You need to show your calculations to receive full points.  1) Is the nursing home residence community in Washington State a dynamic or fixed population? Briefly explain the rationale for your answer. What was the prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1?  What was the prevalence of TB on June 30? What was the cumulative incidence of TB over the year? What was the case-fatality rate among residents with TB over the course of the year?
