The document outlines considerations for research on a social action project about stopping smoking. It discusses exploring existing artifacts like ads, posters, and organization websites to understand messaging and design elements. Primary research will involve interviews and surveys of young adults who smoke and don't smoke to get different perspectives. Sensitive issues could include offending people or lack of willingness to discuss personal topics. Research must be conducted ethically and take diverse community views into account.

You needtobe sensitive becauseyoudon’twanttooffendsomeonewhenyouare doingyour

overcome these?
A problemthatI couldface whenresearchingsocial actionisthatI mightnotbe able tofinddata
