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 correlation      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 one 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      correlation analysis statistic that is reported. 
5. Address the type      of data required and whether assumptions of the test were met. In order to      do this, you will need to state:
        -What was the Dependent Variable (DV) and at what level was it measured
        -What was the Independent Variable (IV) and at what level it was measured      You will then compare this to 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. Respond to your peers’ by discussing the possible implications      of their posted study.
