Additional Criteria:
The write up should be long enough to cover the subject without repetition.  It should be 1 page in
length and no longer than 2 pages. An annotated bibliography has a specific format; see below.
The paper should be typed and double-spaced. Margins should be 1 inch on all sides.
Do not
reference
within the paper because the entire paper is about a single article that you identify in the beginning. 
Include your name, date, course number and assignment title at the top of the page.
Bibliography should contain the following information in
outline format
:
1.
Article citation in AMA format.     
2.
Explain the main purpose of the work.  This is not a summary of how the research was done but
a statement of why it was done/written.
3.
Describe the content. Summarize what was assessed and give the key results of that
assessment.
4.
Indicate the possible audience for the work.
5.
Evaluate the relevance of the information and how it can be applied to the imaging or radiation
therapy dept
6.
Note a special feature; this means what about the article helped you learn/understand the
information
7.
List a defect, weakness and/or bias.
***As in any formal writing you must not copy directly from the article.  Even though you are giving
credit to the author, if you copy word for word you must use quotation marks or it is plagiaris

Describe in detail your proposed intervention(s) and program(s) and how they compare to existing programs and how they improve upon existing programs. Also based on the gaps and limitations discussed in current efforts. Be sure to discuss plans, resources needed and potential issues that could arise with the implementation of your proposed interventions. Your proposed interventions should be feasible given available resources.

A fundamental ethical problem in statistics arises in experimentation (i.e., in the context of studies of experimental drugs for treating AIDS). On one side, organizations such as the National Institute of Health insist on randomly assigning treatments such as flipping a coin for each patient to decide which treatment to assign.

The advantage of randomized experiments is that they allow reliable conclusions without the need to worry about lurking variables. However, some groups of AIDS patients have opposed randomization, instead making the argument that each patient should be assigned the best available treatment (or to be more precise, whatever treatment is currently believed to be the best). The ethical dilemma is to balance the benefits to the patients in the study (who would like the opportunity to choose among available treatments) with future patients (who would be served by learning as soon as possible about the effectiveness of the competing treatments).

The issue is complicated. On one hand, the randomized study is most trustworthy if all the patients in the study participate. If they are not treated respectfully, the patients might go outside the study and try other drugs, which could bias the estimates of treatment effects. On the other hand, the patients might benefit from being in an experimental study. Even if the treatment is randomized, the patients are getting close medical attention from the researchers. Current best practice is to design studies so that all subjects will be expected to benefit in some way, but still keeping the randomized element. For example, a study can compare two potentially beneficial experimental treatments, rather than comparing a treatment to an inert control. However, there will always be conflicts of interest between the patients in the study, the scientists conducting it, and the public at large.

In your original post, compare and contrast at least two research designs that might be used to research life threatening diseases/disorders. At least one design should present ethical issues and at least one design should minimize potential ethical issues. Provide at least one Scripture passage that supports your ethical perspectives on medical/public health research.

Integrate at least one scholarly source on each thread pertaining to this topic and cite in AMA format.
