Assignment:
The administrator of a local hospital notices that many patients admitted for Salmonella infection indicate that they drink unpasteurized milk from a local dairy. The dairy has resisted pasteurizing the milk because the state inspections do not always find Salmonella contamination. The hospital administrator decides to conduct a hospital-based study that may show a strong association between unpasteurized milk consumption and Salmonella cases in the community.
Q1. What study design should the hospital administrator select? Why?
Q2. What can be concluded from this hospital-based study with respect to the association of consuming unpasteurized milk and Salmonella infection?
Your answer must be, typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
