Weighting: 25%

Task Instructions

A group of enthusiastic researchers have prepared a press release outlining the results of a recent analysis  they  have  performed.  You   have  been  asked  to   review  their  statement  to  ensure  the conclusions drawn from the analysis are appropriate. You have been provided with the press release (page 4 of this document), and the output from their analysis (generated using jamovi) on which their conclusions are based (page 4 and 5 of this document).

Your  task  is  to  prepare  and  submit  a 3-minute audio-visual presentation which  evaluates  the appropriateness of the analysis used and the conclusions drawn by the researchers (as presented in their press release). Your presentation is to be accompanied by a 100-150 word written summary which provides an appropriate interpretation / conclusion based on the provided analysis output. The marking criteria for this task are provided on page 6.

In your presentation video, you should:

•        Introduce yourself to your audience (e.g., by saying your name).

•       Comment  on  whether  you  think  the type of analysis  performed  is appropriate,  including a justification for why or why not.

•        Provide an interpretation of what the analysis output shows,  highlighting any important or relevant features.

•       Comment on whether you think the conclusions reported in the press release are (or are not) appropriate  given  the  data,  analysis  conducted,  and  output  provided,  with  a  relevant explanation.

In your written summary, you should:

•          Summarise how the analysis should be interpreted, including relevant numerical values. This should  be  structured  similarly  to  the  way  you  have  reported  conclusions  from  analyses conducted within tutorials.

Important Notes:

• You DO NOT require any content-knowledge about acrylamide. Your evaluation should be of the appropriateness of the conclusions drawn based on the statistical analysis performed and the provided output.

•        Presentation submissions will be assessed based on the accuracy and clarity of the content, rather than the production value of the video itself.

•       You  should  prepare the  presentation  as if delivering it to an educated lay person (someone who may not know anything about biostatistics). Use simple language to describe concepts where possible, focusing on the important and relevant content for interpretation.

•       The minimum requirement is that we can see and hear you in the presentation. You must be visible in the recording. Submissions where the speaker cannot be seen will be given a 0.

•        It  is  acceptable  to  use  a  mobile  phone  to  make  your  recordings.  You  can  also  use  Zoom, Canvas Studio, PowerPoint, or any other software or app of your choosing.

•       Your presentation should be no shorter than 2:30 minutes and no longer 3:15 minutes.

•       You  do  not  need to  use  slides  (or  any  other visual  aids  or  props)  for your  presentation; however, you are welcome to use them if you want.

•       We  have no expectation that  you  professionally  edit  your  submission. A  simple  “floating head” video is sufficient.

• Do  not simply  read  out the axis labels or numerical values from the  provided output – you need to describe what is being shown and convey what these values actually mean.

Task Instructions

Submit your recorded presentation and accompanying written summary by 11:59 PM Sydney Local Time on Sunday   12th May  2024 via  Canvas  (Assessments overview > Assessment 3:  Analysis Interpretation presentation > Assessment Submission – Click Here > Select the files to upload and then click “Submit Assignment”).

If   you    have difficulties   submitting    the    assessment    around    the due time,   please    email [email protected] directly with your  assessment attached to   avoid  late penalties.   The timestamp  of  your  email   will  be   used  as evidence of  the date   and  time of your assignment submission.  Please  note  responses to  emails will only occur during business hours on standard working days.

PRESS RELEASE: Burnt chips – the next public health threat!

The next time you’re enjoying some delicious hot chips, take a good look at them to make sure they’re not burnt. Researchers have found compelling evidence that eating burnt foods like hot chips, or overcooked toast for breakfast, could be linked to an increased risk of cancer due to the damage it can cause to your DNA.

Acrylamide is a chemical that forms in carbohydrate-rich foods like potatoes and bread when cooked at high temperatures. The higher the temperature, and the longer the heating time, the higher the levels of acrylamide. The same chemical is found in tobacco cigarette smoke.

In their study, the researchers took a cross-sectional sample of 310 everyday Australian adults and estimated their acrylamide intake based on their usual diet. They then took blood samples and measured the amount of acrylamide circulating in their blood stream. They found overwhelming evidence that diets containing more acrylamide caused greater levels of acrylamide in the blood stream.

The researchers stated that “Increased dietary intake of as little as 2 ug/kg/day of acrylamide will lead to concentrations of acrylamide in the blood of over 100 pmol/g of haemoglobin – that’s the equivalent impact on the blood stream as smoking 5 cigarettes every day.”

ANALYSIS:

Dietary  intake  of  acrylamide  was  measured  in  micrograms  per  kilogram  of  body  weight  per  day (ug/kg/day),   and   serum   acrylamide   concentration   was   measured   in   picomoles   per   gram   of haemoglobin (pmol/g Hb). Both variables are continuous and approximately Normally distributed.
