This assignment is one of a series of assignments that will result in a final capstone paper. Below are the instructions for the Chapter 4 “Data Collection, Analysis and Results” and Chapter 5 “Conclusions and Recommendations” sections of the paper. I have attached the template, the three previous sections, examples, and a list of sources. Some of these sources were used in the first two parts. The rest were chosen to fit the study criteria as well.
Using the attached Chapter 4 – Data Collection, Analysis and Results (TEMPLATE), provide the data collection procedures, analysis and results of your proposed research study. In this section of your study, you will include the following information:
Introduction (describes all methods and procedures for collecting and analyzing the data and then presents the following sub-sections)
Data Collection Procedures (describe the methods and procedures for collecting the data including, if necessary, informed consent protocols for human participants and field tests preliminary to conducting the study)
Data Analysis and Results (For qualitative studies (which will have no hypotheses), discuss: (1) the type(s) of data obtained; (2) how the data will be prepared for analysis; (3) how the data will be coded; and (4) how the data will be initially analyzed (e.g., methodological approach [case study, grounded theory, etc.]). For quantitative studies (which contain hypotheses): (1) Decide on the type of data involved in each statistic and correlation; (2) Determine the descriptive statistics required or desired, including both descriptive statistics and summaries (diagrams, histograms, etc.); (3) Determine the sequence of methods for the desired analysis; and (4) Describe how each step will be carried out)
Using the attached Chapter 5 – Discussion (TEMPLATE), conclude your study by providing a thorough discussion of key findings, as well as any recommendations for further research. In this section of your study, you will include the following information :
Discussion of results and how they results help answer your research question. (this introduction forms the transition, not an introduction to the study itself. State the purpose of the section and then present the following sub-sections)
Public Health Recommendations (what are the implications for the proposed hypotheses [for quantitative studies] or research questions [for qualitative or quantitative studies], the previous literature and the wider communities of interest?)
Recommendations for Future Study (researchers can discuss as many as four categories of recommendations for further studies. Each category reflects back on one of the previous sub-sections; the three most common categories of recommendations include those: [1] developed directly from the data; [2] derived from methodological, research design or other limitations of the study; [3] to investigate issues not supported by the data but relevant to the problem being studied)
