Sampling in Healthcare Discussion

I’m studying and need help with a Health & Medical question to help me learn.

 

Please respond to ONE of the following discussion prompts.

Review recently published articles on ScienceDaily.com. Summarize a research study that interested you for the class. What element from the research process can you describe for the selected study? Can you describe the study hypothesis?

NOTE: When responding to the article summaries, please stay focused on the research process and avoid spinning off into the discussion of specific diseases or disorders which are out of scope for our class. Thank you.

What is sampling in health care research? Why would a researcher sample a portion of a population when conducting research? Can you differentiate between a sample and a population? Please describe at least 3 different sampling techniques.

OR

Please define and describe at least 3 different data collection methods. Please provide a hypothesis that could be tested or a research question that could be answered in health care and suggest how data could be collected to test the hypothesis or answer the research question.
