The purpose of this assignment is to write a paper including a comparison table. The table will be provided as an appendix to the final paper.

Using the GCU Library, locate a quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods article related to your DPI topic. You may reuse articles from Topic 1 assignment.

Using the “Comparative Table Template,” create a table that compares quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods articles. Provide the table as an appendix to the paper.

Organize the table according to the following.

1. Type      of article.
2. Title      of the article.
3. Type      of analysis: Describe the process of analysis. There can be more than one.
4. Applicability      of test: Describe other analyses that could be used and why?
5. Reliability      and validity: Describe either the reliability and validity measures of      tools used in the study or the techniques used to enhance reliability and      validity in the study.

Write a 1,000 to 1,250 word paper discussing the application of data analysis, reliability and validity, and assorted statistical tests used in health related research. Include the following in your paper:

1. State      the types of study used in each article.
2. Discuss      the types of statistical tests used within each article and why they have      been chosen.
3. Discuss      the applicability of the chosen statistical test and why the statistical      test was chosen.
4. Discuss      the differences between parametric and nonparametric tests and how they      were applied in the articles you chose.
5. Evaluate      how the factors of reliability and validity are accounted for in the      articles (of instruments and surveys or in the design and data collection      conducted).
6. Summarize      how the chosen studies could be applied within the context of your      practice.
