Epidemiological Study Designs in the Media
The article that appeared in the mainstream media discusses a study that found a connection between drinking sugar-sweetened beverages and having a higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease (Buntajova, 2022). The same study is discussed in the article that underwent peer review, and it offers more details on the methodology used and the results.
The article that appeared in the mass media contains certain epidemiological concepts, such as measures of association and study design (Buntajova, 2022). Other concepts, such as confounding variables and prejudice, are, however, not included. These concepts are explored in more detail in the article that was evaluated by colleagues.
Although the research is accurately presented in the article that was released by the mainstream media, certain crucial details that epidemiologists need to conduct a thorough analysis of the study are omitted. For instance, the observational nature of the study was not highlighted in the mainstream media story, making it impossible to establish a cause-and-effect connection.
I would explain to a client who brought this article from the mainstream media to their attention that the study does not establish a causal link between consuming sugar-sweetened beverages and cardiovascular disease.
I would also point out that there are a variety of additional factors that may raise the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and that more investigation is needed to determine the significance of sugar-sweetened beverages in this situation (Gan et al., 2021). I would say this because I think it’s crucial for the public’s health to understand the role that beverages with added sugar play in this situation.

Question 
Please, I need subheadings for each part. Intext citation, peer review article within the last year, Plagiarism free, and excellent grammar.
Locate a mass media article published within the last year that describes the findings of an epidemiological study. Be sure that the article is about an epidemiological study and not another area of population health. Post a response to the following:
Epidemiological Study Designs in the Media
Briefly summarize the study you found, and then include the citations for both the mass media and the peer-reviewed articles.
Explain what epidemiological concepts are included in the mass media article (e.g., measures of association, study design, confounders, and bias) and how they compare to those in the peer-reviewed article.
Give your assessment of how well the mass media article represented the actual research that was conducted. Describe any obvious omissions from the mass media article that epidemiologists critiquing the study would need to know.
Finally, imagine that a patient brings this mass media article to you and asks you for your informed opinion. Explain how you would respond to or interpret the article for the patient.
