Does evidence indicate you have chosen an important problem, situation, or opportunity that deserves more attention? What evidence indicates that the problem, situation, or opportunity relates to an organizational management issue or clinical concern?
• Methodology: This part of a research study provides an overview of the scope of the study or how large, long, and comprehensive the study was.
