Assignent Solutionnurs

Research Topic
A subject or issue that a researcher is interested in
A well-defined research topic is the starting point of every successful research project
Should be researchable and able to found in existing literature (2nd data)
Annotated Bibliography
A list of citations to books, articles, and documents
Each citation is followed by a brief (~150 words) descriiptive and evaluative paragraph
The annotation should inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the source cited
Requires the ability to read critically and analytically then succinctly and concisely summarize the most important aspects of an article
READ first-then write
Peer reviewed
Authority, scientifically vetted, targeted audience
American Psychological Association (APA) style
Research Question
A research question is the question around which you will center your research
It should be:
Clear: provide enough specifics that one’s audience can easily understand its purpose without needing additional explanation
Focused: narrow enough that it can be answered thoroughly with the resources you have and within the task you must complete
Concise: expressed in the fewest words possible
Complex: not answerable by “yes” or “no” but requires synthesis and analysis of data. Research questions should combine two variables and you should be interested in knowing the relationship between the two
Arguable: its potential answers are open to debate rather than accepted fact (it’s your job to present proof
Research Hypothesis
An educated guess based on scientific knowledge and theories.
Testable
Able to be supported or refuted through research
Variables
Poses relationship between two variables
Independent—researcher changes or controls
Dependent-influenced by the independent variable, something the researcher observes and measures
Research Plan
Topic

Research Methods
Behavioral Studies
These are studies that test how people act in different ways.
Clinical Trials
These are studies of a drug, surgery, or medical device in healthy volunteers or people who have a specific disease. See below for more information.
Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR)
This is research that engages community partners as equal participants in the research.
Genetic Studies
These are studies to find the role of genes in different diseases.
Observational Studies
These are studies in which a group of people is observed for many years.
Physiological Studies
These are studies to better understand how the human body functions.
Prevention Studies
These are studies that test ways to prevent specific conditions or diseases.
Population Health Research
This type of research can be one or a combination of the types of research mentioned above. Population health research tries to improve the health and well-being of people from a population-level perspective.
Longitudinal Studies
These studies collect data on a number of variables over a long period of time
Qualitative Studies
These studies focus on shy something exist and assess the content in which health behavior occurs
Experimental Design Studies
This type of research is carried out in an objective and controlled environment so that precision is maximized, and specific conclusions can be drawn about a hypothesis statement
Slide Deck
• 6-8 slides
• Follow paper outline
• 5/5/5 rule: no more than five words per line of text, five lines of text per slide, or five text-heavy slides in a row.
• Your text should be easy to read and pleasant to look at. Large, simple fonts and theme colors are always your best bet
• Don’t overload your presentation with animations
• Include only one idea per slide
• Include only essential points
• Give credit, where credit is due
• Use graphics effectively
A phrase-not a full sentence with a verb
Typically specifies the population of interest to be investigated
