I have the following assignment and need it done asap. I need to examine the relationship between the main independent variable EPTEDUR and the three dependent variables. Refer to the spreadsheet and go to the tab HTN. I need to run 3 regression equations but examine what other control variables should I consider for finding the best model fit. The model fit won't be that great but I need to show it. Then I need to examine interaction effects.

BACKGROUND

Essentially I'm trying to tell a story of how Electronic health record (EHR) capabilities impact hypertension patients receiving education and counseling on 1) diet, 2) exercise 3) weight reduction. All of the dependent variables are whether the patient received that type of education/counseling. Therefore, it is a binary dependent variable. What we need to do is figure out what to control for and how certain patient or practice characteristics impact patients getting this counseling/education. For example, when we look at Medicaid patients (from the spreadsheet) we see that they are more apt to receive diet counseling but not weight reduction or exercise counseling. Those are the ideas we want to consider. Why this matters is having this EHR capability but it can impact the types of counseling offered by what we control for. Keep me updated on if u have questions.

INTERACTION WITH INSTRUCTOR/MINUTES OF THE INSTRUCTOR

Let me explain

it will help u build the best model for each of the 3 outcome variables

Because it shows you for each of the independent variables which ones are statistically significant for that outcome variable

Pick which ones are best for building each model

PLEASE CHECK ASSIGNMENT FILE

Remember to do binary logistic because each model will only have one outcome variable

So do u understand to do one model for each outcome variable?

Ok the main independent variable is the EPTEDUR

And we want to examine that on each of the outcome variables in column a of the spreadsheet

And we have to include the other control variables

And then do you think I could tell a story about what control variables we need to be concerned about in regards to the outcome variable?

It would make my project more interesting

Because we just run the regression with respect to the main independent variable and the 3 outcome variables

All of them will be statistically significant

I need to tell a story about what we control for and how it would impact the models

Do u think we can do that?

The spreadsheet tells u what variables are statistically significant with respect to the outcome variables

Go to HTN tab

This project is for hypertension patients

Another thing can u do some interaction effects?

Do some limited interaction effect analysis

Finally can u write a small summary of your interpretations?
