Qualitative Research Proposal- Topic "Impact of Postpartum Depression with child"

Students will develop a qualitative research proposal, outlining and defending the research design, and preparing an appropriate research instrument.

They will describe the topic of the research, literature review of the topic, questions they will use in their interviews or observations, type of instrument to be used, where and how data will be collected, and type of analysis that would be recommended if the proposal was implemented.

Students will discuss possible ethical issues in obtaining data through the interview, survey, or observation process.

They will orally present these projects near the end of the term.

A presentation date will be given by the instructor.

When developing the research proposal consider an investigation which impacts upon a population at risk considering culture, race, gender, age, income levels, disability, or sexual orientation.
