Present a research question based on this topic that you would like to answer in a proposed study. (Consult the Walden “Developing Research” resource for guidance on crafting a research question.)

• Explain the epidemiologic study design that would be most appropriate to assess and address your population health problem.
• Summarize the data collection activities you would use (i.e., how you would collect data—online survey, paper/pen, mailing, etc.).
• Explain any specific methodologic strategies you would use. For example, if you were conducting a case-control study, how would you select your cases and controls?
• Consider the methods you would use to make these selections. What are the strengths and limitations of your selected approach?
• Explain ethical considerations pertaining to your study.
