Research Study Proposal – Part II: Literature Review and Research Questions

Resource: Ch. 3 of Introduction to Health Research Methods- URL

Create a research question related to your problem statement and then conduct a Literature review.

·         Conduct background reading of your topic.

·         Select at least 5 research articles related to your problem statement.

Summarize in 1,050 to 1,500 words the articles that best support your research question. Be sure to:

·         Discuss components of a research study

·         Determine validity of study

·         Discuss strengths and weaknesses

·         Determine future research needs

·         Cite your sources with APA format

Remember that the 5 articles should be primary research articles. Not summaries of other studies or an editorial. Research studies will discuss the problem, hypothesis, aims, introduction/background, methodology, results, and discussion/conclusion.
