Topic 1: Evaluating Recent Research
- Go to the online library and find a recent (no older than 3 years) article reporting the results of a nursing or health research study in which an ANOVA or Kruskall-Wallis test is used (try using health research and ANOVA or Kruskall-Wallis test as search terms).
- Post the reference using APA format at the top of your response and then provide a BRIEF 1 paragraph summary of the study.
- Identify the null hypothesis and alternative hypotheses (you will need to write the null in your own words as this is not provided in most research reports).
- Address the type of data required and whether assumptions of the test were met.
- In order to do this, you will need to state:
- What was the Dependent Variable (DV) and at what level was it measured?
- What was the Independent Variable (IV) and at what level was it measured?
- You will then compare this to the type of data required and whether assumptions of the test were met.
- Note any post hoc tests that were mentioned.
- Respond to your peers' by discussing the possible implications of their posted study.
- Minimum of two hundred words , citations are not part of the word count.
