[4.2] Sampling Plan Assignment

After reading Babbie (Chapters 4 and 7), write a comprehensive sampling plan for your research project based on the following guidelines:

Steps for writing a sampling plan:

1. Describe the population that you want to study. Be specific about their characteristics – location, age, gender, socio-economic status, experience, etc.
2. Identify inclusion and exclusion criteria.
3. Elaborate on your research question(s)
4. Highlight how your study will contribute to the current body of literature.
5. Select a design for your study (i.e., true experimental or quasi-experimental design.)
6. Discuss the details of the design and how it will best answer your specific research question. Will you collect data or will you use existing data?
7. Discuss your rationale for your design. Cite references where applicable.

My research as you have helped me with a few times is on veterans and PTSD and how recreational therapy helps. I attached the hypothesis that you also helped me with.
