This study evaluated the impact of language on the outcomes of functional analyses for 9 children with autism who lived in Spanish-speaking homes. Functional analyses were conducted in both Spanish and English to determine if language affected the identified function of problem behaviors or the patterns of behaviors observed. The results found correspondence between the functions identified in Spanish and English for 8 of the 10 cases. This suggests that language of assessment did not significantly impact outcomes for most participants. However, the study highlights the importance of considering linguistic factors when conducting functional analyses.

Questions:
1. Facebook remains the top choice of social media over all ages, with 65% using Facebook most often among those using social media sites. However, more visually oriented social networks such as Snapchat and Instagram continue to draw in younger audiences. When asked “Which one social networking site or service do you use most often?’’ here are the top sites chosen by Americans aged 12–24 who currently use any social networking site or service:
Social Media Site Percentage Who Use Most Often
Facebook 43%
Instagram 18%
Snapchat 15%
Twitter 8%
Google+ 4%
Pinterest 3%
a) What is the sum of the percentages for these top social media sites? What percent of Americans aged 12–24 use other social media sites most often?
b) Make a bar graph to display these data. Be sure to include an “Other social media site’’ category.
c) Would it be correct to display these data in a pie chart? Why or why not?
2. Table below gives the number of active nurses per 100,000 people in each state.
a) Why is the number of nurses per 100,000 people a better measure of the availability of nurses than a simple count of the number of nurses in a state?
b) Make a stemplot that displays the distribution of nurses per 100,000 people. The data will first need to be rounded. What units are you going to use for the stems? The leaves? You should round the data to the units you are planning to use for the leaves before drawing the stemplot. Write a brief description of the distribution. Are there any outliers? If so, can you explain them?

Employers are struggling with rising healthcare costs, which increase annually by 17%. Many are shifting to high deductible health plans to control costs, but this shifts more of the financial burden to employees. Better MRI proposes to help control outpatient MRI costs for self-insured employers and their employees by providing price transparency and negotiated rates. They will offer employer clients an initial package to cover a set number of MRI scans at a guaranteed savings of at least 10k, or they will refund 120% of the package cost. Ongoing fees will be a percentage of total savings from directing employees to low-cost in-network MRI providers. The company projects serving thousands of MRI scans annually and generating millions in savings and revenue over 11 years.

Dentists are offered the role of Lead Dentist in their state to expand this preventative program.
The document discusses an antioxidant scanner that measures tissue antioxidant levels and motivates patients to take actions to improve their antioxidant levels and periodontal health. It explains that the scanner provides a score and patients should aim for a score of at least 40,000. To increase their score, patients are advised to avoid tobacco, maintain a healthy weight, reduce stress, eat more fruits and vegetables, and take a quality nutritional supplement. It emphasizes that supplements differ in effectiveness and safety, and recommends a pharmaceutical-grade supplement. The document promotes using the antioxidant scanner to monitor progress.
The dental practice introduces an antioxidant scanner to improve patient care through prevention. They appoint a scan director and train staff. Scanning begins, with 84 patients scanned in January and various staff awarded bonuses for their roles in the new program. The doctors are pleased with the additional income for the practice and incentives for staff and patients to focus on prevention. The practice aims to become the lead practice in their region for this antioxidant scanning program.

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
2. Their expertise and dedication to patient care were extraordinary.
However, their approach to new opportunities was extremely different.
Especially after the end of the day…
Because they were married - but that’s another story !
3. “I know what you like, so I’ll start with the SCIENCE.
The Antioxidant Scanner was invented at the University of Utah in 2001.
It measures 18 different carotenoid antioxidants with a 30 second scan of
the hand using Raman Spectroscopy. It provides a score, like 31,000, that
indicates how much antioxidant protection a person has.”
“Says who ? How do you know that thing works? Where are the studies?”
“Instead of watching the Chargers tonight, go to this website”:
– http://farsighted.com/ScannerScience
4. “The peer reviewed, published studies demonstrate
• The value and nature of Raman Spectroscopy
• The validity of the Phamanex Antioxidant Scanner
Plus, there are tens of thousands of articles on PubMed.gov about the
importance of antioxidants in terms of protection against cancer, heart
disease, macular degeneration, Alzheimers, & periodontal disease.”
“Okay… Assuming that the science is valid and the scanner actually measures
what they say it does, how is this going to fit in with the Imaginary Dental
Group?
How do we use it in the office?”

6. “Ok, so it fits in with office flow – 5 minutes for the assistant several times
a day works out. No bumps. Especially since the doctor doesn’t do anything.
Now, $20 for each scan. Cash? I wonder if patients might object to that. How
many scans do you think we would do each day?”
“Probably 4-6 based on what other offices have done. Also, our patients will
appreciate that we’re helping them prevent problems.
This is where our country and healthcare are heading – prevention, not ‘drill
and fill’ – and we can be one of the leaders! We can help motivate people to
make life changes by having a numerical score, just like weight, blood pressure,
cholesterol, A1C, and PSA – people understand numbers.
We dentists can use the numerical score, to help them begin making
changes in diet, exercise, and nutrition – and then monitor their progress a
few months later, just like a regular lab test.”
7.
8. “And what’s more, when they come back in 3 months for another scan, we
will ask them to ‘Bring A Friend’ and we’ll scan them for free.
And… the friend will get an introduction to us and our practice!
Also, when the patients get scanned, they get a scan card which is perfect
for a ‘show and tell’ with their friends, family, and co-workers.
This is a terrific tool for identifying our practice as proactive and cutting edge.
If you add up $20 per scan at, say 4 a day, that’s $20,000 for the year,
and…
if we recommend the guaranteed supplements, it’s much, much more!”
9. “You mean we HAVE to sell supplements? Is that part of the deal? That’s not
very professional. Plus, why would we want to fill up our storage cabinets with
bottles of stuff?”
“When I talked to Dr. Edmiston about that, he said that when he used the
scanner in his Sacramento ophthalmology office, he felt funny about ‘pushing’
pills on his patients, so he didn’t do that. He just let them go to Walmart, or
whatever…
However, when they came back for their 3 month re-scan, and their score
didn’t go up, Dr. Edmiston began recommending the guaranteed products and
things changed dramatically.
And, we never have to stock anything – ever!
Plus, there’s a remarkable commission from these products.”
11. “Actually, I’m interested in this scanner. How much does it cost?”
“We don’t have to buy it. We lease it for $209 per month – but the good news
is that we will probably never need to make a lease payment. If we enroll 6
patients a month, it’s free! Most practices never pay a dime...
Now, we do have to qualify for the lease with a purchase of $4945 purchase of
products and $500 for the mini Ipad with software.
The product purchase amount is broken down into $4400 for four thousand
scan cards (should last 3+ years) and $545 in product for ‘show and tell’ in
the scan room.”
So, when you look back at the spreadsheet, we’ve got our startup cost + our
operating expenses taken care of in less than 3 months – the rest is gravy for us
& our partners!”
12. “One last thing…
Our office team needs to be behind this – how are we going to get them on
board with this technology – and the supplements?”
“There will be a special slideshow customized for them and our office. It will go
over the scientific proof and include the action steps for them – there’s only a
few. This is a piece of cake to learn, about five minutes.”
“Plus, they’ll love that they are helping patients even more – and making extra
income while doing it. We’re charging $20 for the scan and we get $10 when a
patient begins a guaranteed product. I feel that our office team should be
getting about half of that – thousands of extra dollars each year! Plus, the larger
income is from the commission of the supplements – by far!”
“And…this is very important! When we present it to them as a group, we will
actually have the scanner. It won’t be a bunch of words and pictures – they can
get their own score – a true ‘show and tell’.”
13. “Okay, let me get this straight.
The scanner improves our patient care by incentivizing patients to change
their lifestyle, diet, and nutrition.
The scanner brings us new patients and make us a lot of money.
The scanner establishes us as a visionary, leading edge dental practice.”
“And, also, it allows us to hold fundraisers for charity, take to health fairs and
the talks we give for our colleagues and the community. Imagine the great
publicity we will get.”
“Done! The science is real. The benefits are extraordinary for our dental
practice. What do we do next?”
“Thought you’d never ask…”
14. At the partners’ meeting the next night, the two dentists
presented the program to their colleagues.
It was enthusiastically accepted.
Dr. Hart and Dr. Stern celebrated with a wonderful dinner that evening.
15. Antioxidant Scanner Ordered
Dr Hart called The Foundation of a Healthy America and spoke with its

Their response was, “Don’t forget the projections – the bonuses will
make our Team feel even better about our preventive dentistry initiative!”
“Our income will come from the sale of guaranteed products by ourselves and
the practices in our region. As the Region 5 Lead Practice, we should easily
make more than $200,000 – and that’s only in Year #1”
25. “Also, by giving our Team Members a financial incentive to refer people
for scans, we end up adding new patients to our practice.”
“Everybody wins! – The Patients, The Practice, The Team, The Community!”
26. “And we doctors haven’t had to do anything except remark on the patient’s
score & congratulate them for taking positive action about prevention.”
“While getting the word out to the community about our cutting edge,

the six states of the Region and selected a State Lead Practice:
Other Dental Practices
Perfect Smile Dental (Columbus) : Ohio Lead Practice
Midtown Dental Associates (Indianapolis) : Indiana Lead Practice
Dentistry of Michigan (Detroit) : Michigan Lead Practice
Chicago Dentistry (Chicago) : Illinois Lead Practice
Madison Dental Center (Madison) : Wisconsin Lead Practice
Twin Lakes Dental (Minneapolis) : Minnesota Lead Practice
32. The dentists from each of the practices had contacted The Imaginary Dental
Group and generally asked these questions to the Scan Director and Dentists:
No long explanations, presentations, etc. were required – everything was then
turned over to Dr. Edmiston
Other Dental Practices…
1. How is the antioxidant scanner working in your practice?
2. Do the patients like it? Does the Team like it?
3. Does Dr. Edmiston and The Foundation of a Healthy America
contribute much to the program?
33. After the Lead Practice in each state was selected, the training and marketing
process was repeated for each one – and they all became very successful.
And, after 2 months of successful operations, Dr Edmiston and The Foundation
of a Healthy America contacted every dental practice in each of their states.
And each of them became very successful. And their network grew & grew…

Editor's Notes
The answer is a good one! Only the receptionist and the medical assistant do a little extra. The Receptionist provides the patient Letter #1 after registration. It talks about the value of antioxidants, the scanner, and the weight management program. If the patient wants a scan, he pays $20, gets scanned, and is given Letter #2 by the Assistant telling about the benefits of diet and office recommended supplements. The patient may decide to begin approved supplements which is done online by the Receptionist. Should the patient want more information about the Weight Management program, his name, phone #, and best time to call is emailed to FFHA. He is then contacted by Dr Edmiston who explains the program and enrolls him if he so desires. The patient enjoy continuing support through phone calls, webinars, emails, nutritional counseling, and 24/7 access to FFHA.
Now what does the doctor do? Well, the doctor does just what he or she has been trained to do – and now without much of a worry about the medical practice.
