The Assignment: (2–3 pages)
Provide a brief (e.g., 2-paragraph) background summary of the disease (dependent variable) you have selected from the Final Project dataset.
Identify and provide a brief description of the independent and dependent variables you will consider for your Final Project.
Run and save the Data Dictionary from the Final Project SPSS datafile. Include the output as an appendix to your assignment.
Describe your “Statement of the Problem” (stated as a research question). Be sure your statement or question makes mention of both the independent and dependent variables you are examining. (This will be important for later assignments when you complete statistical analysis using the Final Project dataset.).
Provide an Annotated bibliography which is to include:

Sources: Four recent (less than 3 years old) primary peer-reviewed research articles related to the disease of your paper. Beyond the minimum four primary research articles, you may add additional, high-quality secondary literature (reviews or meta-analyses), and you may use websites if from a scholarly and relevant source (e.g. CDC, NCHS, etc.). Your sources must follow APA formatting.
Annotation: For each research article, include a brief description of the study aim, the methods used, and the major findings. For each non research source, provide a concise description of the relevant key points addressed in the source. Include in the annotation a brief description of how you plan to use each source (e.g. provides statistics for the problem, etc.)

**Please include the following header ON THIS and ALL FUTURE Assignments for the Final Project.**
One simple statement for each. This helps you and the instructor keep track of what you are attempting.
