Post Discussion: Categorizing Study Designs
Research begins with a problem and question(s) that can be converted into hypotheses. There are several approaches to research, and these are known as study designs.
As a researcher, you will need to identify which study design to use for your proposed research. For this discussion, you are to describe how you could answer your proposed research question(s) using each of the following study designs:
· Phenomenological qualitative research
· Observational quantitative research
· Experimental quantitative research

Include in your discussion a description of each of these study designs and their pros and cons specific to your research.
Question # 2 Discussion: Assessing Studies 350 words
Post Discussion: Assessing Studies
Researchers need to weed through the results of their literature review to find the articles that are the best fit for their study. In a systematic review, the search terms used are the inclusion criteria, and other criteria are used for exclusion.
Review the criteria for exclusion in this week's readings and the systematic review you reviewed for last week's discussion, and then post narrative responses to the following questions:
What exclusion criteria do you plan to use in your systematic review? Justify your decisions.
What criteria, if any, were used to exclude articles in your chosen published systematic review?
Describe how your exclusion criteria differ from the published exclusion criteria discussed in your chosen published systematic review?
Discuss why the differences exist between your proposed exclusion criteria and that used in your chosen published systematic review. Justify your exclusion criteria based on your research problem and research question(s).
Respond to 3 students' posts. Provide feedback on their choice of exclusion criteria. Are there any you think are too restrictive? Are there any you would add?
