Assignment task:
What's Your Hypothesis?
This week's discussion focuses on designing and building support for an intervention. Netting et al. (2023) discuss the importance of developing a hypothesis statement and framing a statement of change in this process. Since this will be part of your final assignment, this is a great time to share some of your ideas with your colleagues! Here are some ideas to get you started:
Share your intervention hypothesis statement and statement of change. What resources did you use to help understand the quantitative aspect of your statement of change? Describe your experience as you completed this process.
A working intervention hypothesis concisely presents the relationship between your intervention and expected outcome. Share your working intervention hypothesis. What is at least one alternative working intervention hypothesis?
Share a journal article, video, podcast, or other resource about hypothesis statements. How might implicit and explicit biases be reflected in the statements? What personal implicit and explicit bias were you able to identify as you developed statements related to your hypothesis and intervention?
