Part 1: Analyzing Data

Using the resources indicated above, conduct the following analyses and record the results on the "Results and Outputs" template. Attach this document as an Appendix in your paper.

Qualitative Analysis: Read the "9th Grade Girls Healthy Food Focus Group Transcription." This transcript is from a focus group of 9th grade girls discussing healthy eating with the moderator. Generate codes and summarize the qualitative data.

Quantitative Analysis:

1. Review the "Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance System Dataset." Identify two or three variables of interest and identify a study topic for your paper. Conduct a literature search for three to five peer-reviewed articles from the last 5 years that have studies supporting your topic. Develop a research question for your study based on the selected variables. The research question should demonstrate support for the focus group results and should be supported by existing literature.

2. Prepare the data to complete the analysis based on your research question.

3. Using SPSS, conduct descriptive statistics to summarize the sample.

4. Using SPSS, select an appropriate quantitative inferential statistical test to analyze the data.

Part 2: Reporting Data

Manuscript to disseminate the findings of your proposed study. The study should be based on your proposed research question and supported by the findings from the qualitative and quantitative analyses above, as well as by current literature. Include the following:
