Problem 1: 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.)
Problem 2: Explain the epidemiologic study design that would be most appropriate to assess and address your population's health problem.
Problem 3: Summarize the data collection activities you would use (i.e., how you would collect data-online survey, paper/pen, mailing, etc.).
Problem 4: 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?
Problem 5: Consider the methods you would use to make these selections. What are the strengths and limitations of your selected approach?
Problem 6: Explain ethical considerations pertaining to your study.
