RESEARCH

Research a research-based article within your local Library or the AHIMA BoK for AHIMA members.  Provide a brief summary of the article findings (250 -300 words) and explain whether the research study relates to basic research or applied research methods.  Page 8 of the Watzlaf and Forrestal book provides a good differentiation between the two types.   If you think your study actually is a combination of both research methods please describe.   There is no right or wrong answer but your 2 -3 sentence explanation must justify what type of research method you have identified.   Provide the reference for your article in APA format, after your summary. 

The research should be something in epidemiology, we are basically looking for research based article that either uses basic research or applied research. Whatever research based article you choose should relate to either of the two. If the research article you choose is a combination of both, then you also describe.

It is worth 100 points.
