Reflection Assignment This week there will be no formal discussion for our class. However, there is a reading assignment. Based on the reading assignment there is a reflection requirement. This is basically a written paragraph of about five to six sentences about what you have read. Your reflection should be posted on the discussion board (remember it is just a paragraph of five to six sentences) regarding your readings for this week. No discussions are required this week. Reading Assignment Our reading assignment for our class this week will involve: Chapter 16 – Internet, Secondary Analysis and Historical Research Chapter 17 - Intervention Your class participation is the basis for grading of this requirement. Please note that I am actively going through everyone’s phrase three written assignments. Thank you for your continued diligence in our course. Under chapter 16 this week, we will explore topics such as incorporating the internet for your research, revisiting participant testing as well as interviewing. Ethical concerns, historical research, and its appraisal. In review of chapter 17, intervention in research will be explained. As per our text, not all research involves an intervention.

This week there will be no formal discussion for our class.
However, there is a reading assignment. Based on the reading
assignment there is a reflection requirement. This is basically a
written paragraph of about five to six sentences about what you
have read. Your reflection should be posted on the discussion
board (remember it is just a paragraph of five to six sentences)
regarding your readings for this week. No discussions are
required this week.
Reading Assignment
Our reading assignment for our class this week will involve:
Chapter 16 – Internet, Secondary Analysis and Historical
Research
Chapter 17 - Intervention
Your class participation is the basis for grading of this
requirement. Please note that I am actively going through
everyone’s phrase three written assignments. Thank you for
your continued diligence in our course.
Under chapter 16 this week, we will explore topics such as
incorporating the internet for your research, revisiting
participant testing as well as interviewing. Ethical concerns,
historical research, and its appraisal.
In review of chapter 17, intervention in research will be
explained. As per our text, not all research involves an
intervention. Frequently, interventions are seen within

At this phase of research, the principle investigator interacts

methodology section.

refers to any research method that uses the Internet to
collect data. Most commonly, the Web has been used as the
means for conducting the study, but e-mail has been used as

Secondary analysis
is the re-analysis of either qualitative or quantitative data
already collected in a previous study, by a different researcher
normally wishing to address a new research question.

Historical inquiry
proceeds with the formulation of a problem or set of questions
worth pursuing. In the most direct approach, students might be
encouraged to analyze a document, record, or site itself. Who
produced it, when, how, and why? What is the evidence of its
authenticity, authority, and credibility? What does it tell them
of the point of view, background, and interests of its author or
creator? What else must they discover in order to construct a
useful story, explanation, or narrative of the event of which this
document or artifact is a part? What interpretation can they
derive from their data, and what argument can they support in
the historical narrative they create from the data?

An intervention
is a combination of program elements or strategies designed to
produce behavior changes or improve health status among
individuals or an entire population. Interventions may include
educational programs, new or stronger policies, improvements
in the environment, or a health promotion campaign.
Interventions that include multiple strategies are typically the
most effective in producing desired and lasting change.
