Topic: Opioid abuse and addiction

1. As a practice scholar, you are searching for evidence to translate into practice. In your review of evidence, you locate a quasi-experimental research study as possible evidence to support a practice change. You notice that the study aims to make a prediction that relates to correlation between study variables. The study sample size is small and is not normally distributed. Reflect upon this scenario to address the following.

In your appraisal of the evidence, you note that a Pearson's r correlation is used to analyze data. Is this the correct level of correlational analysis? Explain your rationale.

Are association and correlational analysis equivalent in determining relationships between variables?

Do these findings impact your decision about whether to use this evidence to inform practice change? Why or why not?

2. Practice Question: In one sentence clear and concise practice question that includes the following:

Population
Intervention
Comparison
Outcome(s)
Timeframe

3. Selection of a Translation Science Theory or Model (Knowledge to Action model)

Apply KTA model to support Opioid abuse and addiction.

Determine how KTA model serves as the framework for the design, implementation, evaluation and dissemination phases of opioid abuse and addiction.

Propose how stakeholders are integrated into the phases of the selected KTA model.
