For this discussion, you will develop a research question to investigate Human papillomavirus infection. You will then determine whether you would use an observational or experimental design to investigate the research question, and support your rationale.

Human papillomavirus infection.

For this discussion, you will develop a research question to investigate HPV. You will then determine whether you would use an observational or experimental design to investigate the research question, and support your rationale. In your responses to your peers, you will critique their research questions and their choice of design, providing specific feedback on their strengths and areas in need of improvement. Prompt: Before you post in this discussion, first read the following health scenario: Human papilloma virus (HPV) is a group of more than 150 related viruses.

Then, in your initial post, address the following: Create a research question to investigate HPV. Explain whether you would use an observational or experimental design to investigate the research question. Be sure to justify your choice For this small group discussion, you will develop a research question to investigate HPV. You will then determine whether you would use an observational or experimental design to investigate the research question, and you will support your rationale. Note that this discussion format is different from the other discussions in this course.
