For this simulation, assume you will conduct a quasi-experimental study. You will collect the data either through interviews or direct observation.
YOUR RESPONSES
I think in this simulation assume I will conduct a quasi- experimental study. I will collect the data through interviews and direct observation. To gather great data collection in making sure to recommend vaccinations of any infectious diseases in helping people. In why it’s important for the vaccination treatment in recommended for people health.


State your research question which you developed in Week 4 one more time: use the same question, modify it, and/or narrow it even more (Remember: For use in a quasi-experimental study, your research question needs to be specific enough so that you can turn it into a hypothesis. Feel free to modify your original question to fit this requirement.)
The question that I develop in week 4 one more time the question that I stated was, Where the vaccinations useful for serious infection disease vaccines. Where it able to help out the United States? Many programs the United States  have for people health benefits to have a less risk of consideration of any infectious disease want have the country infected. With as many of vaccine recommended for people health. The consideration of people health infectious disease not so good without having the vaccinations offers to people in the United States.


Decide on the study participants and the sampling process (Remember that this is a quasi-experimental study, i.e., random assignment or random sampling is not possible)
The study participants were, “Statement on Risk vs. Benefit of Vaccinations” by David Satcher, M.D., PH.D. The health benefit the United States has proved a vaccination for childhood immunization. Plus many more vaccinations for the United States people to fight off infectious serious diseases.


State your independent variable (i.e., what will the “treatment” be, what will one group experience or possess that the other one will not)
The time orientations of my study have is focus from the past but more focus on the present and the future. Because the effect of what happen in the past made the United States take in more consideration on fighting different health infectious diseases. To help many families and children from the infectious diseases for everyone.


State your dependent variable (i.e., what will you measure, what outcome do you expect)
The key measurement that a features quantitative design is independent, dependent and control variables that are defined in a measurable of terms. Which the Statement on Risk vs. Benefit of Vaccinations is the health benefit for the United States has provided vaccination for children immunization and any other infectious serious diseases.


State a hypothesis based on your research question (Remember: A hypothesis is an explanation of something observed or a prediction of something we expect. Make sure you state the hypothesis so it expresses an anticipated relationship between the independent and the dependent variable)
In my hypothesis based on my research I would use quantitative design in the Statement on Risk vs. Benefit of Vaccinations which relates to early childhood. The important of children have to get vaccination shots in the United States. In the anticipated relationship between the independent is that it is places where people can receive vaccinations treatment plus it is required in the United States that people must have. Than here in the United States all babies must have all required vaccination shots before entering school. By it being dependent variable source since the United States provided vaccination shots. The sickness that was happening in the past with small pocks and yellow fever etc.… This has not happen ever again since the United States been using the vaccination for children immunization and adults as well.



Of the two data collection methods you studied this week (interviews and direct observation); decide which one you would use in this research simulation, and what are reasons for your choice?
The data collection method I studied this week that I would use is both interview and direct observation. Because first I would want to know how the vaccination works with the person so I can ask questions more about the vaccination in how it makes them feel. Then I will do direct observation to see how the vaccination made the person look or had them to feel as if the people were contiguous to it I would want to know before releasing it to the United States. So that I can have a lot of data collection from my methods of studies in making sure that the vaccinations shots are still helpful.


From the four assumptions of quantitative designs (i.e., objectivity, reductionism, reliability, generality) choose one and explain how you  would make sure that your study meets this assumption
I would chose reliability how I would make sure that my study meets this assumption. Because I would prefer if the vaccinations work well if I know that its reliability to help others. Plus make sure the vaccination meets the assumption of querying any infectious diseases.


Now that you have finished this simulation, what limitations do you perceive in the way you have designed this study, i.e., what problems can you already anticipate (Note: Your knowledge about study limitations is still very limited. You are not expected to provide an exhaustive list of such limitations. However, considering what you studied about extraneous variables, sampling issues, or assumptions of quantitative designs, you are expected to demonstrate awareness of limitations by describing at least one challenge to your study)
So far with the research information on the simulation I feel as there is no limitation in considering about vaccination. My knowledge about this study the only limitation would be money and the right equipment in finding more vaccinations in helping people. My challenge in my study is making sure the vaccination will work and keep back infectious diseases.
