Data Preparation Example A
The data collection for my organizational survey was interesting
to say the least. One final e-mail reminder this week helped me
to obtain the minimum required responses I had previously set
for myself. Without the required number I feared the data may
be skewed or I didn’t capture exactly what I was looking. This
assignment will detail and document the results of my
organizational survey. First, the raw data will be posted for
review.
Data Entry:
In regards to the data entry, figure 5.3 of our textbook shows
data entry as the first step of the six step process (p. 158,
Church & Waclawski, 2001). Using a program like Microsoft

Excel, allowed the data entry process to be relatively seamless.
Additionally, websites like Survey Monkey also provided easy
data entry as well for a nominal fee. Shortly, the Excel
spreadsheet will detail the results of the survey conducted
within my organization.
Data Preparation:
Luckily, all 10 questions were answered within the survey. For
data analysis purposes this is exactly what is needed as
completion of all questions by all respondents does not allow
for much confusion or invalidated questions. Therefore, there
will not be a need to remove any incomplete responses.
Statistical Analysis:
The model of survey used required the respondents to answer
from five options: strongly disagree, disagree, neither agree nor
disagree, agree and strongly agree. Based on this the statistical
analysis that will be used will be the mean. The text states that
mean is, “the average response obtained for a given item across
all respondents” (p. 173, Church & Waclawski, 2001). Each
answer option is given a numerical value from 1-5; strongly
disagree is 1 point with each answer moving upward to 5 points
(strongly agree). Once calculated, I can rank them in order.
Table 1
Table 2
Response Patterns/Themes:
Based on the tables above, all the questions rated fairly high.
As data was being gathered, it was interesting to see that many
of the respondents, whether it was gender or age all felt the
same way about many of the questions. The questions are
ranked in order on Table 2. The good news is that most people
felt like their role within the organization was valued. All in
all, the survey results were positive and job satisfaction was
better than expected.

Write-in Comments:
Not everyone left comments on the questions when offered the
opportunity; however, the comments that were left were helpful
and will be used as options to improve job satisfaction on that
particular question.
Question 7 asked: Monthly teambuilding events would improve
your job satisfaction.
The rating was a 3.8 overall and the following six comments
were left as suggestions:
- Sports, Social grilling out, off-duty social time
- Thematic potlucks
- I am starting up a new monthly lunch-and-learn to help w/
synergy among the different sections
- Monthly lunches, quarterly sports days
- Off site somewhere fun
- Paintball BBQs Obstacle course events
Question 8 asked: I have opportunities to manage programs.
The rating was a 4.4 overall and the following three comments
- No specific programs at moment, but open to anything to
improve team dynamics.
- In charge of managing several programs solely.
- Would like to lock the current programs to a clear idea as to
where they are going and who is in charge.
Question 9 asked: There is a clear delineation of duties within
the organization.
The rating was a 3.6 overall and the following four comments
- Clear duties are established, however, there are times when
unexpected "priorities" are presented that effects pre-
established duties.

You should have 10 questions.
“How flexible is the agency with respect to your
personal/family responsibilities.” The responses to this question
shifted to one side of the scale. A majority of the respondents
agreed that the agency is very flexible to personal/family
responsibilities. 68.75% very flexible and 18.75% flexible. The
median of the responses is 5, which is very flexible.

After reviewing the approaches to conceptual level analysis I
decided to analyze using similar scale questions.

Response Patterns
For the conceptual level analysis I ranked similar
questions as I felt this type of analysis applied to my survey
questions the most. For the sake of this measurement, since 3 is
completely neutral 3.5 would be the difference between positive
and negative. It appears for the most part the results of the
questions involving the agencies leadership are positive. The
mean of the responses are all above 3.5, which is higher than
neutral, or positive. On the questions that consider job and
position the mean are below 3.5, or negative.
For the most part the opinions of the participants in my
survey varied across the agency. If I were able to do smaller
surveys on each individual section I bet I could get similar
answers from each section in the agency. While there were
differences of opinions on most of the questions there was one
question in particular that most people agreed on. This was the
question about the flexibility of the agency when it comes to
personal responsibilities. The consensus was that not only is the
agency flexible but most agreed that it was very flexible when it
comes to family and personal matters.
I couldn’t help but notice that not everyone opted to write
in ideas to improve the agency or brought up any issues that I
may have left out. I actually got more write-in responses than I
expected but it would have been nice to see more. It would also
help to know why they didn’t write any comments.
Write-in Comments
As required for the survey, two of the job satisfaction questions

ask for specific or additional comments. Question numbers nine
and ten leave space for comments after the questions.
Question 9 asks: “What ideas do you think will improve the
agency? Please list 1-3 ideas.” Twelve respondents gave 1-3
ideas and four respondents completely skipped the idea boxes.
The ideas are listed here:
- “More interaction between different sections”
- “Better communication”
- “More training”
- “Consistency on direction of section”
- “Funding priorities in certain programs”
- “Improvement on Management”
- “Shut the agency down”
- “Send the agency back to DMA”
- “Fill the empty slots”
- “Deploy us at the rate the rest of PA deploys”
- “Change the location”
- “Shorter time required at the agency”
- “More events inclusive of family members”
- “We are a FOA not a wing and we need to act like it”
- “Less micro management”
- “Clear, concise ideas on what the end goal is”
- “Burn the office to the ground”
- “Give our jobs back to the Pentagon”
- “Send only experienced Airmen to the agency”
- “Allow members to do honor guard, FTAC and other special
duties”
- “Shut it down”
- “Telecommuting”
- “Provide more in-house training especially of regular PA
duties”
- “Use civilains instead of Airmen in Mrs. Hus section”
- “Improve Website”
- “Actual working wireless internet”
- “Bulldoze the remains”
- “Bring back AF News”

- “Alternate Schedules”
Question 10 asks: “What other issues, if any, need to be
addressed in the agency?” Ten respondents chose not to write
anything. I received 6 responses, two stating none or not
applicable and four actual written responses. The four responses
are:
- “I haven’t been here very long, and I’ve been in only one
section. So, I’m not sure about the agency as a whole. As for
my section, we run pretty efficiently due to the cooperation of
the people that make up my section.”
- “Why we exist, no one knows.”
- “The military folks tour time should be longer than 3 years.
By the time they get proficient at their job in the agency they
get orders and PCS. This makes it really difficult for us that
have been here and will be here for a while. We invest a lot of
time into training.”
- “I think our biggest issue is that we are ran by civilians so
there is almost no military structure.”
Summary
I often wonder how honest people are when filling out
these types of surveys. After my coworkers completed the
survey some of them asked me if I received their response.
When I told them I didn’t know because everyone was labeled
as respondent some of them were surprised at how anonymous it
was. I know that any time I have filled out a similar survey I
based my answers off of who was going to see them. If I was
disgruntled and I wanted change I would write unfiltered
answers but when our career field was deciding who to keep and
who to release I answered my questions using the words to show
how much I wanted to stay in my job and in the military. I
realize I am not the only one who considers the repercussions
while completing something like this.
One unique thing I considered while looking over these
responses is the military rank structure. Those that outrank me
might not want me seeing them “talk bad about leadership” or

answer negatively on these questions, even if it was honest. The
military is big on perception and rank. Higher ranking should
never vent down the chain of command. If I am right in
considering this then those that were the most honest with me
would be the Airmen that I outrank and those holding that same
rank as me.

Revision feedback MILESTONE TWO PBH-02
You provided some solid information in this assignment
regarding your topic of diabetes. For this milestone you needed
to talk specifically about current programs and strategies that
are in place to address diabetes. You also needed to go over
their effectiveness. Great job covering the history. In order to
substantiate its legitimacy as a problem you needed to include
statistics regarding those that are impacted. Include information
such as prevalence, incidence, mortality, etc. You also needed
to provide statistics in the last section when discussing the
target population that's impacted. Also you need to include in-
text citations whenever you are using information from
additional sources. Your history section should have at least
once citation. Please make corrections prior to your final
project. If you have any questions please let me know.
An Analysis of Diabetes as a Public Health Issue
The public health problem to be addressed
The long term complications of diabetes are said to develop
gradually. The longer a person has diabetes, and has less
controlled blood sugars, the higher the chances of getting
complications. Apparently, the diabetes complications are
disabling and life threatening. Diabetes is a deadly disease if
left untreated. Diabetes is also said to increase the risks of
developing cardiovascular problems that include coronary artery
diseases and heart attacks. If a person has diabetes, that person

is likely to have heart diseases or even stroke. On the other
hand, diabetes is linked with nerve damages, a condition that is
known as neuropathy. Excess sugar can cause injuries on the
walls of blood vessels. It causes numbness and burning. If left
untreated, it could affect the limbs. It also damages the nerves
related to digestion and can even cause nausea as well as
vomiting (Ramachandran & Snehalatha, 2011). For men,
diabetes may cause erectile dysfunction. In some people,
diabetes may lead to kidney damages. Diabetes may cause an
irreversible end stage kidney disease that may call for a kidney
transplant. Some of the things that make diabetes a debilitating
condition are the fact that diabetes causes damages to the eyes.
It may lead to permanent blindness. Women may also develop
gestational diabetes. However, the babies are born healthy. All
the same, if left untreated, the blood sugar levels may affect the
baby as well. The child may develop low sugar diabetes which
may cause early deaths. Thus, for this several reasons, diabetes
needs to be addressed. It not only deprives the nation of a
productive workforce, but it also leads to a loss in federal
funds.
History of the issue
Scientists and the physicians have for a long time been
documenting about diabetes for thousands of years. The doctors
have been investigating about the discoveries and the dramatic
breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes. In this regards, many
brilliant minds have played a role in the history of diabetes. As
far as history is concerned, the first known mention of diabetes
was in the year 1552 BC when an Egyptian physician
documented frequent urination as symptoms of a mysterious
illness that caused emaciation. At that time, the ancient
medicine men also noted that insects such as ants seemed to be
attracted to the urine of people with this disease. In the year
150 AD a Greek physician described diabetes as the melting
down of flesh and limbs into urine. Afterwards, the doctors then

gained a better understanding of the disease. Centuries later,
there emerged people who later came to be known as water
tasters. They diagnosed diabetes by tasting urine of individuals
suspected to have it. If the urine had a pleasant taste, then
diabetes was diagnosed. In the year 1675, the word mellitus was
added to the name diabetes which means to siphon. Even so, it
wasn’t until the year 1800 those physicians devised a new
chemical test that would be used to detect the presence of sugar
in urine.
As the doctors understood about diabetes, they began to
understand how to manage it. The first treatment involved
exercises such as horseback riding which was assumed to
relieve excessive urination. In the year 1700 and 1800, the
physicians began to experiment dietary changes that could help
manage diabetes. They advised the patients to eat animal fats
and consume large amounts of sugar. During the Franco-
Prussian war of 1870, the French doctors discovered that
diabetic patient’s symptoms improved as a result of war related
rationings. The doctors developed individualized diets as a
treatment for diabetes. It led to the invention of oat cure and
potato therapy to help people with diabetes. In the year 1916,
Elliot Joslin created a book known as the treatment of diabetes.
The book made him an instant expert in that field. He suggested
that fasting diet combined with regular exercises could reduce
the risks of death among the patients with diabetes. Currently,
the physicians utilize the book by Elliot to teach their patients
about lifestyle changes for the containment of diabetes.
All the same, despite the advances people still died as a
result of diabetes. It led to premature deaths among the patients.
Nonetheless, the first breakthrough resulted in the invention of
insulin to treat diabetes. Researchers at the University of
Strasbourg in France identified that the removal of dog’s
pancreas could lower the risks of diabetes. In early 1900, a
German scientist determined that injecting pancreatic extracts
into the patients could assist in controlling diabetes (Dunkley et
al, 2014). Frederick Banting from Ontario developed an idea on

how to use insulin to treat diabetes in 1920. The scientist had
been trying his theory with animal experts. Banting finally used
insulin to treat diabetes in 1922. For this reason, they were
awarded the Nobel Prize in the field of medicine. Today, insulin
has become the primary treatment for diabetes. However, other
medications have also been used to control blood glucose
levels. Besides, the diabetes patients can quickly test their
blood sugars at home and use dietary changes, regular exercises
and insulin to control blood glucose levels.
Policies and stakeholders involved
In a nutshell, the burden of chronic diseases in the
United States is enormous and still growing. The control of
chronic illnesses demands practical approaches. They include
patient education and provider’s knowledge (Baker, 2011). The
effective policies must also be implemented to address the
issues of chronic diseases at the local and federal levels. It is
true in regards to diabetes. The disease has cost the United
States a sum of $245 billion in 2012. It consumed
approximately one dollar in every 10 dollars of health care
funds. Even so, implementing the policies to treat an illness is
not a trivial matter. The efforts seem to be effective when
proper goals are set. For example, child immunization is a
perfect example. In the year 1990, half of the children in the
United States were not immunized against communicable
diseases (Ali et al, 2011). It took the powerful political
movement to get the 90 percent of children to receive
immunization. It meant winning the support from several states
as well as professional groups. The federal government is the
major stakeholder should evaluate the impacts of affordable
care act and Medicaid expansion on diabetes. The ACA should
cater for treatment and diagnosis of diabetes. In areas where
Medicaid was expanded to provide for people with diabetes,
more people were diagnosed with diabetes at earlier stages. To
sum up, Medicaid expansion may lead to the increase in the
number of recipients with identifiable diabetes. Also, more
rapid diagnosis and support from respective States may result in

long term outcomes. Lastly, if proper mechanisms are enforced,
most of the people may overcome diabetes.
