Our overarching research approach is to initiate a pilot study, using a quasi-experimental framework and quantitative analysis. The purpose of conducting a pilot study is to examine the feasibility of an approach that is then intended to be applied to a larger population (). The results of the pilot study will help to identify modifications that will be needed for the larger investigation (). This is important because rather than requesting approval for a larger, more financially demanding study

Research Paradigms Researchers have many techniques in which they accumulate information and devise a theory.

After compiling a research question to clearly
