Exploring Research Questions
Post 2–3 paragraphs describing one problem and 1–2 research questions. Write one qualitative research question and one quantitative question. The quantitative question requires identification of the independent and dependent variables that could be measured to answer each research question. It also requires two potential confounding variables that may affect your research study. Briefly justify your choices.
Support your discussion with citations and specific references to all resources used in its preparation. Provide a reference list for all resources, including those in the resources for this course.
Example
This is an example of how these should be written, please revise your questions using this format:
HAC: MRSA
Quantitative:
In emergency room visitors (P), do hand sanitizing stations outside of patient room doors (I) result in fewer in-hospital MRSA infections (O) when compared with no hand sanitizing stations (C) over 12-month study period (T)?
Qualitative:
In emergency room visitors (P), is there a perception (from interviews) that the use of hand sanitizing products before entering a patients room (I) will result in fewer in-hospital MRSA infections (O) when compared with not using hand sanitization products (C) over 12-month study period (T)?
