Over the next few weeks, my Individual Assignments will focus on the development of my very own proposal for an original quantitative research project.
This means, you will be reviewing literature on a topic in health care, developing a research question, and considering how you will apply research methodology and statistical analysis to your research question. You are planning real a scientific research study from scratch for me.
This week you will develop a problem statement as the start of your research proposal. You will use this problem statement throughout the course in a five-part assignment. This is only part 1, so keep this for reference for the next parts.
Identify a research area that interests you. (You pick)
Within that research area, focus on a particular problem.
Begin to review relevant research studies related to the identified problem.
Choose at least 2 peer reviewed articles from the University Library related to your topic and problem area; they should be no more than 5 years old.
Compose a one to three sentence problem statement. Then, write a 350-word description of the stated problem citing the relevant peer reviewed literature.
