Problem:
In a study to examine the relationship between stress and back pain, researchers administer a stress survey to people who sit in an office chair for more than 6 hours each workday. People also rated their level of back pain. For both the stress and the pain measures, participants were asked to use the prior week as a reference point. Findings revealed that as stress levels increase, so do levels of back pain. Which type of research design did these researchers use? Need Assignment Help?
