Research Question

      https://youtu.be/tBW9bffzejU Begin with a health issue and a target population Begin your research question with “How” or “Why”; Note: your question should not be answerable with “Yes” or “No”, and not answerable with a quick Google search Your question is specific and not vague (see below for examples of vague research questions) Question 1: Why are many adults classified as obese? Vagueness: Which adults are we talking about? Worldwide or in a particular country? Question 2: How do people develop type II diabetes? Vagueness: There are many characteristics about people that influence diabetes, can you more narrowly define the “people” you are focusing on? e.g. children?, older adults, overweight, race, age, SES, etc. Question 3: How has CDC addressed population health? Vagueness: CDC has had many projects to address population health. Should we should focus on one project they completed? Or projects during a particular time period? Projects related to a specific health issue? Question 4: Why has the percentage of adults classified as obese increased over time? Vagueness: What time period are we talking about? Are we looking at obesity in all adults or do we want to focus on specific characteristics/demographic of adults?
