Select a single-study quantitative research study article related to your specialty track and provide the permalink to the article. Then discuss each of the following items. Identify whether the research study design is experimental, quasiexperimental, or nonexperimental.

-Provide the rationale for your answer.

-Identify the appropriate representation for the research study article you selected using the nomenclature of X for intervention, O for observation and data collection, and R for random a assignment to a research study group.

-Identify the type of sampling (probability vs. nonprobability) that was used in the research study article you selected.

-Identify one advantage and one disadvantage to the sampling type used (probability vs. nonprobability).

-Identify whether there was random assignment to research study groups in the research study article you have selected.

-If random assignment to groups was used, how does this strengthen the research study design?

With the focus on qualitative design and sampling, this is a great opportunity to compare and contrast quantitative and qualitative research approaches. For each of the following areas, apply information that considers one advantage and one disadvantage regarding

-control over study conditions with the quantitative research approach;

-control over study conditions with the qualitative research approach;

-extending or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population with

— the quantitative research approach; and

extending or generalizing results from a sample to a larger group or population with the qualitative research approach.
