Resources needed
The resources needed to conduct adequate research revolve around data. First, a list of individuals with very similar backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses should be comprised. The list should also include those who have served time in the United States military. Software such as Microsoft excel, and PowerPoint will also be needed to articulate the results of the research while maintaining the overall database. In addition, easily accessible computers will be needed to record notes, adverse findings, or new breakthroughs in the overall research. A computer also provided an efficient means of information gathering when needed.
Surveys and evaluation forms will be needed to conduct the overall research in a through an unbiased manner. The surveys should not lead any of the participants to a desired answer or explanation. Equally important, facilitators must also be unbiased in their approach towards administering the survey. A core group of experienced facilitators will be needed to provide unbiased assessments. A room, free from extreme noise and distraction will also be needed to help facilitate the overall survey. Noise or distractions may skew the overall results of the research and provide inaccurate data.
