Got stuck with epidemiology assignment that's due tomorrow. Can i get help with clarification?

Imagine you are PA working in an outpatient drug rehabilitation clinic to support clients with

opiate addiction. As part of outpatient treatment, your clients have the option of receiving counseling

in addition to maintenance medication. You have been reading about the potential benefits of regular

exercise for preventing relapse and decide to offer optional fitness programs as part of your services.

To determine whether or not the fitness programs reduce the risk of relapse, you enroll the next 100

clients to join your clinic and record whether or not they participate in the fitness program. You then

follow them up for five years to determine how many times they relapse.

a)What kind of study is this?

b)Give two reasons why it may be important to use the incidence rate instead of the incidence proportion in this example.

c)Calculate the appropriate relative measure of association between fitness program participation and relapse.

d)Interpret your answer to part c above.

e)Calculate the difference in relapse risk between people who did not participate in the fitness program versus people who did participate in the fitness program in terms of the number of excess cases per person-year.

f)Interpret your answer to part e above.

g)Considering the definition of a confounder in the context of this example, do you believe that participating in the optional counseling program could be a confounder in the relationship between fitness program participation and relapse?Why or why not?NOTE: This answer is not calculation based. A complete answer will demonstrate your knowledge of the definition of a confounder and appropriate application to the variables in this example.

h)Considering the definition of an effect modifier in the context of this example, do you believe that participating in the optional counseling program could be an effect modifier in the relationship between fitness program participation and relapse?Why or why not?NOTE: This answer is not calculation based. A complete answer will demonstrate your knowledge of the definition of an effect modifier and appropriate application to the variables in this example.

i)Using the data above, determine whether participation in counseling is a confounder, effect modifier, or neither in the relationship between fitness program participation and risk of relapse.NOTE: This answer is calculation based.A complete answer will include your calculations and your interpretation of whether counseling is a confounder, effect modifier, or neither.

j)Using your stratified calculations from part i above, calculate the attributable risk percent of not participating in the fitness program only among people who also participate in counseling.

k)Interpret your answer to part j above.

There is a table that comes with this question. will send full detail if i get someone that understand the questions.
