1. Students learning healthcare research must know how to identify, plan, and critique research designs and methods. They can achieve this through group assignments and discussion posts where they learn the differences between study types like cross-sectional, case series, and case reports. 2. Social determinants critically influence health outcomes. Students must understand how social determinants affect health and can do so through research, discussions, and group work. It is important to comprehend epidemiology models and how social determinants relate to disease epidemics. 3. Applying knowledge of social determinants and their association with individual disease is an important way to incorporate learning into health practice.

Students learning to conduct health care research must know how to identify, plan, and critique
research design and methods. One of the ways they can achieve this is by applying the
instructional activities and content to group assignments. It is also critical to interact with their
peers in discussion posts. Learning how to differentiate between cross-sectional study, case
series, and case reports is essential in health care research. The models learned in the course are
critical in enhancing research skills (Mann, 2003). Reviewing cross-sectional studies identifying
the study's aim, significant findings, and variables is critical in the course of research. After
learning research skills, it is important to know how to apply them in one's current and future
practice. Evidence-based practices are paramount in health care research, and students must learn
how to incorporate the practice into their professional roles.
Response to Pablo
Social determinants are critical in influencing health outcomes. The students must learn how
these social determinants affect health outcomes. They can achieve this important skill by using
research as well as taking part in weekly discussions and group assignments. Population health
and epidemiology as always intertwined. It is important to understand how the social
determinants contribute to an epidemic. Understanding the epidemic and social determinants and
the relationship between the two concepts requires knowledge of epidemiology models and
frameworks (Bardosh, 2020). This knowledge allows one to understand the disease process.
Having this knowledge is, however, not enough. One must know how to apply the knowledge in
current and future practice. Incorporating the association between the social determinant of
individuals and disease is a gre4at way of incorporating the knowledge in health practice.
