Part A: Informed Consent (20 points)

Using the information you learned in Lesson 10, create an Informed consent form that you would provide to your study participants as part of your data collection process. This form should be tailored to your specific research study question, study design, and population.

• You can use this example from Cornell University to help you create your informed consent statement (consent form) https://www.irb.cornell.edu/forms/sample.htm
• You will upload your completed form as 1 of the 2 files you will upload for this assignment.

Part B: PowerPoint (50 points)

For this part of the assignment you will be creating a full research protocol in PowerPoint format. Your PowerPoint must include the following information:

• Introduction
  
  • Research question
  • Why is this study important? (make sure to use at least 4 references that support the need for your research — you can use the two you identified in Lesson 9).
    • I suggest that you highlight what the gaps in the literature exist (according to other sources), and how is YOUR research helping fill those gaps.
• Methods
  
  • Study design – be specific here!
  • Study population
    • Who is your target, source, and sample population? Be specific.
    • What are the inclusion and exclusion criteria? If you are doing comparison groups, make sure to include inclusion and exclusion criteria for each group.
    • What strategies would you use to select your sample? Why would these strategies be appropriate for your study design and population of choice? Explain.
    • What methods would you use to recruit your population? Be specific.
  • Data collection methods (measuring tools)
    • What methods are you using to collect the data?
    • Why would you use each method of data collection?
    • What type of data each tool will collect?
    • What would be the delivery method for each tool?
    • What obstacles may you encounter when using these tools? Be specific
  • Data collection process (how would you collect the data?) — here I am not asking about the instruments used, but rather about the process you will be using to collect data from study participants.

• Informed consent: Provide a summary of the information you will be providing to study participants in the informed consent form.
• Strengths AND limitations of your study (here make sure you do not only think about the study design…think about your study population, the process used to recruit your study population, your data collection methods — essentially, think about the internal validity of your study!)
• Citation slide – VERY IMPORTANT! All citations must be in APA style. — Remember to also include in-text citations in your PowerPoint!
