Topic 1: Summary of Recent Research 

1. Go to the online library and      find a recent (no older than 3 years) article reporting the results of a      nursing or health research study in which REGRESSION analysis is used (try      using health research and correlation as search terms). 
2. Post the reference using APA      format at the top of your response and then provide a BRIEF 1 paragraph      summary of the study. 
3. Identify the null hypothesis      and alternative hypotheses (you will need to write the null in your own      words as this is not provided in most research reports). 
4. Share the regression analysis      statistic that is reported (linear regression, multiple regression,      hierarchical, stepwise, etc.). 
5. Address the type of data      required and whether assumptions of the test were met. 
6. Briefly discuss whether the      finding in your study is statistically significant and what this means. 
7. Respond to your peers’ by      discussing the possible implications of their posted study.
