This items needs to be redone, the first assignment 2-2 was rejected, so could you please re-do
and follow the following requirements.
Write an analysis of a peer-reviewed article published within the last three years that is related in
some way to the health professional programs at SNHU. You will select this article from a list
provided by your instructor. These articles have been vetted to ensure that they contain the
information necessary to complete the critical elements below. Remember to read the article
carefully as you will not only be analyzing the use of statistics in the research, but discussing
possible further research as well. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Purpose: In this section of your analysis, you need to introduce the study you analyzed,
describing its purpose, research question, and hypothesis. A. Describe the purpose of the study,
including the research question and hypothesis. II. Research Methods: In this section of your
analysis you will take a deep dive into the research methods used by the authors of the study you
analyzed. It is important that you are able to identify, describe, and discuss the data collection
and data analysis methodology used by the researchers. A. Identify whether the study design is
experimental or observational. Support your identification with examples from the study. B.
Identify the methods used to collect the data and explain why the methods are appropriate based
on the research question. C. Identify the data collected as quantitative or categorical. Support
your identification with examples from the study. D. Discuss the potential weaknesses of the data
collection methods used. Support your discussion with examples from the study. E. Identify the
data analysis methods used and explain why the methods are appropriate based on the research
question. F. Discuss the potential weaknesses of the data analysis methods used. Support your
discussion with examples from the study. G. Describe the key demographics of the population
sampled and identify the inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants. III. Key Findings: Now
that you have discussed the research methods used by the researchers, you will need to state and
discuss their findings, differentiating between the results of the experimental and control groups.
A. State the results of the research, describing how the researchers determined whether or not the
results are statistically significant. B. Describe the differences in the results between the groups
in the study and support your description with examples from the study. IV. Limitations of the
study: Unfortunately, every data collection method and data analysis method has limitations. In
this section, you need to explain the limitations presented by the study population and the
advantages and disadvantages of the statistical analysis used. A. Explain the limitations
presented by the study population and sample size used. Support your explanation with examples
from the study. B. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the type of statistical analysis
used. Support your discussion with examples from the study. C. Identify the limitations of the
study design used and explain why those limitations exist. V. Major conclusions from the study:
In this section, you will need to analyze the conclusions reached by the researchers and compare
them to the conclusions of another study from the reference section of your selected study. You
will also need explain how the study you have analyzed contributes to scientific literature and
speculate about further investigations that might take place because of this research. A. Discuss
how the results from this study compare with those of a study listed in the references or your
main article. Support your discussion with examples from both studies. B. Explain how this
study contributes to scientific literature. Support your explanation with specific examples. C.
Describe further investigations that could take place because of this study.
