Read the studies below ( I included links to both studies at the end of the question) and reflect on the following questions (hint: it may be beneficial to use the PARE table covered in module 5).

  1. Are the studies asking the same research question? If not, how did they differ? Please identify and compare the null and alternative hypotheses for each study.
  2. Did the studies use the same (a) methodologies, (b) data sources, and (c) data analyses? If not, how did they differ?
  3. What are the strengths and limitations of the study? Specifically: (a) What pieces of new knowledge do the research studies identify? (b) What limitations to the studies have related to the study designs/data/analyses used?
  4. Bottom line: How could two papers on such similar-sounding topics have such different-sounding conclusions?
