Module 1 Case
THE RESEARCH QUESTION LITERATURE REVIEW AND RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
Case Assignment
Newton Bower and Williams (2004) outline the process of devising and revising a research question be it descriptive relational or comparative. After reading their paper write a three-page paper that addresses the following:
1. How do descriptive research questions differ from questions of relationship? From questions of comparison?
2. How should a researcher determine if prior research exists on her intended research topic?
3. What factors should be used to gauge the quality of previous research? Why are these important in making this assessment?
4. Should formulation of a research question precede or follow consultation with the scholarly literature? Please explain.

Module 1 SLP
THE RESEARCH QUESTION LITERATURE REVIEW AND RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
The SLP for this course is designed to allow you to apply the research concepts and principles introduced throughout this course to a real-world health problem. As such you will be asked to devise your own research question to use the empirical literature to identify knowledge gaps in the field with regard to that research question formulate a corresponding research hypothesis propose an appropriate study design for testing that research hypothesis and devise a sampling and recruitment plan to strengthen the generalizability of your studys findings. In Module 5 you will upload a final paper consisting of all of these elements.
Your Task for this Assignment
After reading the background materials for this module select one of the following research topics and derive a corresponding research question. Next write a 2- to 3-page paper in which you identify your research question and apply the Attributes of a Good Research Question:
Obesity and Diabetes Risk
Physical Activity and Stroke Risk
Health Insurance Status and Health Care Utilization
Education and Mortality Risk
Drug Addiction and Criminal Behavior
Cancer Therapy [1] and Tumor Growth
Your paper should clearly delineate the extent to which each of the following criteria has been satisfied in formulating your research question:
Relevance
Novelty
Focus
Consisting of two core concepts (at minimum)
Feasibility

Module 2 Case
STUDY DESIGNS
Case Assignment
Health science researchers have long believed the randomized controlled trial (RCT) to be the gold standard of study designs. There are many reasons for their contention that an RCT should be preferred to any of the observational study designs. However there are also instances in which employment of this design would be inappropriate.
In a four-page paper discuss the merits of the RCT as a study design with regard to:
1. Internal validity
2. Confounding
3. Feasibility/appropriateness
4. External validity

Module 2 SLP
STUDY DESIGNS
The next step in the research process is immersing oneself in the empirical literature on your research topic to determine the extent to which your research question (identified in Module 1) has been addressed. To this end please use the Trident University Online Library to conduct a literature search on your research topic.
Remember your goal is to discover the extent to which a knowledge gap exists with regard to your specific research question. Locate five peer-reviewed journal articles that present studies relevant to your topic and synthesize these into a four-page paper that summarizes the current state of knowledge with regard to your research question. Note specifically
1. Study findings relative your research question (positive negative and inconclusive)
2. Any additional questions left unanswered by these studies
3. How addressing your research question would help to fill a knowledge gap (should your research question fall short of this you may need to propose an alternative one)
4. The specific population to which your study will apply (and ultimately your studys targeted sample)

Case Assignment
Read the background materials for this module and after doing so address the following questions in a four-page paper:
1. The sampling frame is arguably the most critical element of a studys sampling plan. Why is this so?
2. How might a poorly specified sampling frame forestall the research process?
3. Are studies that employ convenience sampling invalid? Please explain.

Module 3 SLP
SAMPLING
Suppose that your research topic is milk consumption and bone fracture risk. A corresponding research question would thus be: What is the relationship between daily consumption of milk and bone fracture risk?
A review of the empirical literature suggests that milk consumption may decrease the likelihood of bone fracture but findings reported are limited to women ages 65 and above. You would like to examine this relationship in a different segment of the population; lets say school-aged youths. Given that prior research suggests a relationship exists you might hypothesize the following:
Research Hypothesis (one-tailed):
Ho: School-aged youths who consume milk on a daily basis are equally as likely or more likely (than those who do not) to experience bone fractures.
Ha: School-aged youths who consume milk on a daily basis are less likely to experience bone fractures.
where Ho reflects the null hypothesis and Ha the alternative hypothesis which corresponds to the outcome that you the researcher expect to observe. Another way of stating your hypothesis would be in two-tailed format i.e.
Research Hypothesis (two-tailed):
Ho: There is no relationship between daily milk consumption and bone fracture risk among school-aged youths.
Ha: There is a relationship between daily milk consumption and bone fracture risk among school-aged youths.
(Two-tailed hypotheses are used in instances in which a research is not able to anticipate the direction of a hypothesized relationship.)
Your Specific Task for this Assignment
Using the examples provided about formulate your own research hypothesis corresponding to the research question you selected in Module 1. Add this to the previous components of your SLP ensuring that there is consistency from research question-to-literature review-to- research hypothesis. (Your research hypothesis should correspond directly to your research question; if this is not the case please revise either accordingly.)
Upload the resultant document which should be 6-7 pages in length for my review.
