SEE ATTACHED DATA, use the graphs, the data, and questions to write a 9-page paper. DO NOT include a title or abstract.

As a Public Health professional presentation of research findings is an important skill. Now that
you have answered your three research questions it is time to consolidate your results and
appropriate statistical inferences you drew from them into a final report, which should be similar
to a research article one would submit for publication.
Your report should include the following items.
1. Introduction [about one page in length]
a. Select one of your research questions as the primary question of interest. Clearly
state
your primary research question as well as your two secondary research questions.
Your questions should have a clear explanatory variable and a clear response
variable.
b. Build a case for why your research questions are important. Explain why your
questions are relevant and what the implications might be if you find an association.
c. Utilize at least two peer reviewed journal articles to support your claims.
2. Methods [about a half page in length]
a. State where your data came from and how it was collected
b. Discuss the statistical hypothesis test used for each research question. You should
have three research questions, one for each potential association. You should go
through the procedures you used to evaluate each research question.
3. Results: Basic Descriptive Statistics [about a page in length]
a. Examine your most important variables (primary response variable and your
primary explanatory variable) individually. What does the distribution look like? Is the
distribution symmetric or bell shaped? If not, which way is it skewed?
b. If you have a lot of variables you want to report on, use a table of summary
statistics. Make sure everything is well labeled and has a title.
4. Results: Associations and Statistics [about two pages in length]
a. Include the results of your three statistical hypothesis tests. Here you should report
your results and not the details of the test.
b. What are the most relevant associations you have examined so far? Clearly state
what you have found and what the main features of your figures are.
c. There should be three different types of graphs and/or tables included to depict
your findings:
i. A scatterplot (for continuous-continuous association)
ii. A mosaic plot or two way table (for categorical-categorical association)
iii. Side-by-side boxplots (for continuous-categorical association)
5. Discussion/Conclusion [about a page in length]
a. Report on the associations found. I found that…
b. Discuss how the associations fit together.
c. Discuss any theme you see. If you do not see a theme you will need to discuss the
limitations such as other variables that may need to be considered, etc…
d. In this section of the report answer the primary research question to the best of
your ability based on your analysis so far. Also report on your secondary research
questions.
e. What areas of future study would this report suggest?
6. Bibliography
a. Include a bibliography that cites all sources referenced throughout the paper using
the most current version of AMA formatting.
Guidelines for Submission:
This report should be 5-9 pages in length not including the bibliography page. The submission
should use the most current AMA format. The final project should be in the form of a report with a
title (no abstract is needed). Use a standard font and size of at least 11 points, double line
spacing, and minimum 1 inch margins. Make sure to incorporate the feedback you receive from
your instructor before the final submission
