Part 1

For this discussion, you will identify a study that will be used as a model study throughout the course. It is permissible to use the study that you described in the Week 1 Project as long as it includes details regarding the below-mentioned topics. If your study doesn’t describe these topics, then you will need to locate and identify another study. Your model study should include a description of the following topics:

  • Abstract
  • Background (description of the problem to be examined or evaluated)
  • Literature review
  • Methodology (explanation of how data was collected and analyzed)
  • Analysis and findings

Note: For this part of the discussion, you simply need to identify the chosen “model” study, with complete reference.

Part 2

Researchers usually encounter barriers as they conduct a study. Failure to recognize potential barriers can be costly and may even derail a project entirely if unexpected barriers cannot be overcome.

For this discussion, discuss the research question(s) that were composed in Week 1 Project.

On the basis of your discussion, respond to the following points:

  • Speculate on the barriers you might encounter as you seek to investigate your research questions.
  • Describe how you would design your study in order to minimize the impact of the barriers that you encounter.
