For example, what were the specific methods used to address their research questions? What types of research design(s) were used (be specific)? (make sure you briefly include the number of participants, their demographics (gender, age, and so forth if the article provides them), and briefly explain where and how the research was conducted (the procedure).
How did the research designs used by researchers help in conducting their research?
Do you think the research in each of the articles was conducted in an ethical manner? Why or why not?
What overall conclusions can be reached by you, based on your own review and presentation of these studies and references?
