This would be considered primary sources of information. An advantage to this approach would be the autonomy. This autonomy comes with responsibilities and a solid data collection method requires strict adherence to scientific principles that demonstrate cautious and precise research beyond reproach.
A combination of both methods is preferable in this case. Using both empirical evidence coupled with my personal research would help explain this disease from my personal perspective and adds another voice to the discussion. In collecting my own data it is important to create a system that can defend against error and personal bias. Collecting data must be done in a systematic and predefined way to help maintain the integrity of the research. For this task, I am solely responsible.
Once this data is collected there are many things that can be done with the data. Bookkeeping and organizational skills become of the utmost importance during this step of the research product. A clear and concise collection method must be fully vetted before this data collection begins and serves as guidelines to the research itself.
To ensure the quality of this research, bringing in the empirical evidence from the existing literature provides an excellent means of double checking my work. While it is important...
Using my classmates and school faculty can also help contribute to ensuring quality in this project. Bouncing ideas off my peers may not only prevent me from making a big mistake, but may also prove to be inspiring and create an opportunity for investigation that I was previously unaware existed.

Instead, the rate of occurrence and its severity has largely continued and, strangely, medicine is apparently no closer to understanding what asthma truly is than it was two hundred years ago when it first began being diagnosed. Asthma researchers continue to be frustrated by the fact that the harder they tend to look for information regarding the causes of asthma, the more it seems that new and more complex
Procedural Rigor - the qualitative method and design of the study was appropriate and effective. The researchers described how rigor was maintained in the procedures of the study, and how integrity of the data was preserved through the maintenance of constant responsiveness during both data collection and analysis for the study. It is also described how the researchers maintained objective and critical by maintaining some distance from the data periodically.
2005). To do this effectively, political influences must be involved. This includes working within politics to help provide the necessary tools to tackle the problem of rising numbers of asthmatic children; "A dialogue must start now with policymakers to determine how to pay for community based asthma services which are currently not reimbursable under Medicaid," (Nicholas et al. 2005:248). As more and more children are beginning to show signs of
Diabetes According to Waryasz & McDermott (2009), the global prevalence of diabetes among people aged between 20 and 79 rose to 6.4% affecting 285 million people in 2010 and the rate will rise to 7.7% affecting 439 million people by 2030. Amid 2010 and 2030, the rate of individuals with diabetes will increase by 69% in developing nations, and a twenty percent rate in developed nations. In 2011, the number rose
Improving Health for Children With Asthma Childhood Asthma Improving Health Outcomes for Inner-City Children with Asthma Improving Health Outcomes for Inner-City Children with Asthma Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) engages in active surveillance of childhood asthma because it is prevalent, contributes significantly to childhood morbidity, and imposes an economic burden on families (CDC, 2012). The main recommendations for diagnosing and managing asthma by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) and
Environmental Tobacco and Asthma Does environmental tobacco smoke increase the risk of asthma in children? Smoking is observed as a common habit among uncountable number of people belonging to various countries of the world. It is expected that the number of smokers will rise in the near future because of attractive marketing campaigns run by tobacco companies. There was a time when only men were habitual to smoking. In the modern 21st
