By understanding research, health care providers can identify risk factors, trends, outcomes for treatment, health care costs and best practices. To be effective in evaluating and interpreting research, the reader must first understand how to interpret the findings. You will practice article analysis in Topics 2, 3, and 5. For this assignment: Search the GCU Library and find three different health care articles that use quantitative research. Do not use articles that appear in the topic Resources or textbook. Complete an article analysis for each using the "Article Analysis 1" template.

Assessment 1 Health Promotion Plan Tina Nalbandian NURS-FPX4060 Linda Warren 10/10/2023 Assessment 1 Health Promotion Plan Tobacco use is a significant health concern among adolescents. The fact that most people who consume tobacco products start in childhood or adolescence suggests there is a need to promote cessation of tobacco use in adolescents. However, reducing current tobacco use is one of the worsening Healthy People 2030 objectives. The health promotion plan aims to promote tobacco cessation in a hypothetical youth community to eliminate or minimize potential long-term adverse effects of tobacco products on the target population. Health Concern: Tobacco Use in Adolescents Tobacco use is a significant health concern in adolescents. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) (2023) indicates that tobacco use increases the risk of nicotine dependence in adolescents. Tobacco use is currently the leading cause of preventable deaths, accounting for approximately 480,000 deaths in U.S. adults (NIDA, 2023). Additionally, 5.6 million adolescents who are presently alive will die prematurely from a smoking-related illness (NIDA, 2023). Therefore, tobacco use in adolescents increases the risk of early death. Tobacco use is a key health concern because it causes long-term adverse effects on the adolescent’s brain development and behavior. The use of tobacco products in adolescence, for instance, affects the development of prefrontal cortical activity, increasing inattention and impulsivity (Leslie, 2020). Leslie (2020) further indicates that there is a strong association between adolescents’ use of tobacco products and depression and anxiety. Nicotine exposure increases long-term vulnerability to negative emotional states and effects of stress in adolescents (Leslie, 2020). Therefore, tobacco use in adolescents increases healthcare risks. Despite the potential long-term adverse effects of adolescent tobacco use, a significant number of adolescents continue to use tobacco products. For instance, approximately 1,600 12 and 17-year-olds start smoking every day (NIDA, 2023). Whereas cigarette use has gradually declined over the years, the use of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products is growing tremendously (NIDA, 2023). The Healthy People 2030 statistics indicate that 18.3% of students in grades 6 to 12 were using e-cigarettes, cigarettes, hookah, smokeless tobacco, or bidis 30 days prior to the study in 2018 (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, n.d.). However, the most recent 2019 data indicates that the figure has increased to 23.0 percent (Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, n.d.). Hence, the statistics reveal that the Healthy People 2030 objective of reducing the current use of tobacco products in adolescents is not being met.

This draft will not be submitted for a grade. Begin to work on your presentation. The assignment is due in Week 3 Video Presentation #1:  Infant or Toddler  (Under Age 6) Step 1:  For this assignment, students will create a video presentation performing a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation of an infant or toddler.  You are expected to choose a child and an adult to conduct an interview with.  The child and parent are not required to be actual clinic patients, but merely someone who has agreed to perform the interview with you.  You will be graded on your interview skills when interviewing the persons performing as an infant or toddler and a parent.  You are expected to ask the patient and the parent questions the same way you do with your patients in the clinic.  Both should be available virtually or in-person to answer questions.  You may use a Zoom/video call to assess the simulated patient if you do not have a child/parent you can assess face to face. I expect that you will conduct a mental status exam during the interview.  If you don't ask it or explain how you observed it, then don't document it. Only the information asked in the video will be used for grading. Use the rubric as a guide for collecting data.  Don't miss points because something was not addressed. Use Canvas Studio's Screen Capture feature to record (voice and video) your presentation.  No other medium will be accepted.   Upload the comprehensive psychiatric examination document.  Your documentation will be graded on what you asked during the session.  The instructions for creating the video are listed below:

Module 1 Discussion Name Affiliation Course Instructor Due date Module 1 Discussion Relationship between Mental Illness and Religion There are many facets and complex interactions between mental illness and religion. Understanding that there is no inherent conflict between mental illness and religious beliefs is crucial. How they interact varies widely based on personal experiences and cultural settings. The 44-year-old white Australian man's mental health problems and religious views are related to his belief that he was possessed by a spirit following his use of an Ouija board. His early use of the Ouija board, a device frequently connected to spiritual or paranormal activities, perhaps contributed to the onset of his delusions. His conviction that a spirit had taken over and was living inside him is in line with the signs of a mental illness, especially a delusional disease. This situation is not unusual since people struggling with mental health disorders often view what they are going through via the prism of their spiritual or religious beliefs. In this instance, the man's ability to understand his experiences from a religious perspective, despite his nonreligious upbringing, illustrates how flexible the relationship between mental illness and religion can be. Another facet of the relationship between mental illness and religion is illustrated by the man's decision to endure two exorcisms and seek assistance from a local church. Rituals and practices for dealing with alleged spiritual or demonic forces are included in many religious and spiritual traditions, and they can provide consolation to people going through upsetting symptoms (Cook, 2021). It is important to understand that although some might find that religious or spiritual support helps, it cannot replace evidence-based mental health care. The fact that the exorcisms, in this instance, were unable to relieve the man's symptoms emphasizes how crucial it is to receive the proper psychiatric evaluation and treatment.
