DIVERSE POPULATION

/in /by

Introduction and Alignment

This exercise will test whether you can apply first the basic principles, vocabulary, and processes you learned, both biostatistical and epidemiologic, in the first four weeks of the course, and given the practice you had with reading and responding to three different published articles in the fifth week, to actually designing a health sciences research study and writing it up in scholarly format, with all it appropriate pieces, “just as if” you had actually carried it out.  Hopefully, in the future, you will have the chance to carry out such a study for real DIVERSE POPULATION.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

  • Design and write up a health research study on a diverse (in terms of ethnicity, nationality, or another factor) population.  Write up each component part of the study, “just as if” you had actually carried it out yourself.
