Quasi-experiments are achievements that seek to evaluate interventions, however they do not include randomization. They also urge to establish the causal relationship between the symptom and the result. A study was discovered related to semi-experimental study designs, which are known as non-randomized study design, as they are somewhat common in the infectious diseases literature, especially in the field of interventions aimed at reducing the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Semi-experimental studies are also classified into three types of study designs. A non-control group in semi-experimental research designs, secondly the design of the semi-experimental study without prior testing, thirdly the design of semi-experimental studies with control groups and pre-tests as having the highest level of credibility for assessing causality.It is also often that the intervention is unable to randomly select for the following reasons as ethical considerations, difficulty in randomly arranging patients, inability to randomly arrange sites, and the need for rapid interventions.(MacLehose RR, Reeves BC,et al.2019).
As for the challenges of proving causality when using semi-experimental techniques in infectious disease research. The lack of a randomized task is a fundamental weakness of the quasi-experimental study design. Although the intervention precedes the outcome, the correlation discovered in the experimental similarity satisfies some conditions of causation. Also, the result can be displayed statistically to change with the intervention.(Shadish W 2018).
Interventions A lot of times have a harder time being random to specific places. An example of this is the use of an alcohol-based hand sanitizer on only a small group of healthcare providers. Where this random site design is successful, the sites are often geographically far apart; this raises the question of whether other environmental elements are different, which further complicates the design and research. For the solution that was used, it was rather average, which is the random distribution of different units in the same hospital.(Shadish WR, .2018).
The lack of randomization makes controlling variables seem difficult. For example, in a study aimed at demonstrating that the use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer led to a decrease in the rates of acquisition of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, several potentially significant interferences that may vary between the action before and after (i.e. pre-intervention and post-intervention periods); for variables containing the severity of the disease, the quality of medical care, nursing and antibiotic prescribing practices.( MacLehose RR, Reeves BC,et al.(2019).
The first variant of multivariate regression can also be treated using disease severity assessments, but the confusing second and third variants will be difficult, if not impossible, to identify and manage. (Shadish W2018).

Use academic writing standards and APA style guidelines.

Key informant (KI) interviews are in-depth interviews with people who have first-hand knowledge about a community. The informant can give personal insight into the community. The informants can be either formal or informal leaders.

Informants will vary depending on the community but might include formal leaders such as teachers, police officers, elected officials, and social service organization directors. Informal leaders could be any ‘lay’ community member who is well respected and knows the community.
Ask the following questions:

How long has the key informant lived in the community? If a formal leader, ask how long the person has been in their current role or position.
What are the strengths of the community?
What are the challenges or needs in the community?
What are the top three issues/problems (health-related or other) facing the community? Ask for examples of issues/problems if clarification is needed?
What (in the opinion of the informant) has contributed to the issue/problem?
How do you feel the community needs to address the issue/problem?
What community resources are already available to address the concerns?
Is there other information you feel is important to share about the community?
At the end of the interview, clarify any information and review with the informant what you have learned. Thank the informant for their time. A written follow-up, thank you note, is suggested.

The key informant interview should be approximately 2-3 pages in length (not including the title page and reference list) and must be written in narrative format that follows the APA, 7th edition guidelines. Do not write the paper in a question- and-answer format. At a minimum, the paper should include an introduction, a body, and a conclusion. Subheadings are helpful to organize the paper. The introduction should include information about the key informant, why the informant was selected, how the interview was arranged, and if the interview was face-to-face or on the phone. The body of the paper should contain the information from the questions asked the informant. The conclusion should be a reflection of the information obtained and what you learned. The paper should be clear and concise. A title page is required.
I included 2 examples from my professor. as well as my interview and additional information and background to complete this assignment.

This Critical Thinking assignment builds on earlier Critical Thinking assignments.
Using the 10 citations gathered in connection with the topic you chose for the Module 3 Critical Thinking Assignment, create an an Annotated Bibliography, writing a two-to-three-paragraph appraisal of each article. There should be a title page and then these sources should be listed according to APA 7th edition guidelines excluding the reference page. Each individual annotation should be followed by the corresponding appraisal. Look for relevant literature on a topic of interest to you paying attention to the methods of collecting and analyzing data and ethical research practices.
This is an opportunity to practice synthesizing the author’s words. Do not use quotes; rather, put the author’s ideas into your own words. Take as many pages as needed to provide summaries for each of your articles.
Examples and tips:
Cornell University: How to Prepare an Annotated Bibliography
Purdue OWL: Annotated Bibliography Sample
Please note: Do not confuse an annotated bibliography with an abstract, summary, or a book review. They are vastly different. For this assignment, abstracts, summaries, and book reviews are not acceptable submissions.
Follow APA and Saudi Electronic University writing standards.
Review the grading rubric to see how you will be graded for this assignment.
You are strongly encouraged to submit all assignments to the TurnItIn Originality Check prior to submitting them to your instructor for grading
