In a 3 page paper, not including title page and references, address the following:
Briefly identify the population health topic (association between a risk factor and a health outcome) you selected. Present a research question based on this topic that you would like to answer in a proposed study. (Consult the Walden “Developing Research” resource for guidance on crafting a research question.)
Explain the epidemiologic study design that would be most appropriate to assess and address your population health problem.
Summarize the data collection activities you would use (i.e., how you would collect data—online survey, paper/pen, mailing, etc.).
Explain any specific methodologic strategies you would use. For example, if you were conducting a case-control study, how would you select your cases and controls?
Consider the methods you would use to make these selections. What are the strengths and limitations of your selected approach?
Explain ethical considerations pertaining to your study.
