SLP 4

Research: Is obesity associated with diabetes risk among Americans aged 35-45?

Mastering research methods equips health researchers or practitioners to develop a strong research proposal. This skill is particularly important for seeking financial support to conduct research studies.

In 3-4 pages, discuss the following as they pertain to your study, and incorporate this discussion into a 10- to 15-page final paper consisting of all prior SLP components.

Discuss:

• Data collection procedures
• Variables and measurement
• Data analysis procedures (e.g., appropriate statistical test, software, etc.)
• Study validation and ethics
• Study Limitations

Conclude:

1. How your results will be presented (think about tables and charts you can create).
2. How your results will be disseminated – would you like to publish? If so, where would be a good place?
3. What the impact of your study may be (policy, practice).

Length: 3 to 4 pages typed, double-spaced.
