BACKGROUND

The student is working on reducing soda consumption from 2-3 times daily to 1 time or totally cutting it out of her diet. The student is looking to measure her waistline after 7 days of intervention. She will take soda 2-3 times daily for 7days(which is dependent variable- DV) and she will reduce her consumption to 1 time daily or cutting it out totally. The student has measured the variables using a habit tracer app.

Question outline.....

Introduction

What is the issue you are trying to address? Discuss your rationale (why is it important to address this issue?)

Dependent Variable

What is the dependent variable? Name it. It should be a single word or two.
How are you measuring your DV? [operationalize] What app/tool did you use to track the DV? Was the DV measured continuously (e.g., on a scale, anxiety scores, etc. ) or categorically (e.g., yes/no). Another possibility is ordinal measurement (low/medium/high].

Independent Variable

What is the intervention? What are you doing/using to cause the change in the dependent variable?
What app/tool did you use to track the independent variable? Was the IV measured continuously (e.g., on a scale, counting steps, etc. ) or categorically (e.g., yes/no, completed/ not completed, etc.). Another possibility is ordinal measurement (low/medium/high].

Theory of Change

State your hypothesis (a statement predicting how the IV will impact the DV). Example: "walking for 30 minutes every day for a week will be related to a reduction in the level of stress".
Why do you think your intervention can affect your DV? What theory, model, and methods does the app use to affect the DV? (Theory of change).
Was there research evidence supporting the intervention? What is the research behind your app that indicates that it is effective in addressing your dependent variable? How much and what kind? If no theory of change or research exists, discuss how that relates to whether this is a good intervention and what the lack of data indicates.

Adherence

Were you adherent to the intervention (did you use it every day as you were supposed to use it)? If not, why not, and what made it easy or difficult?

Results

Calculate mean (average) scores for Phase A and Phase B in your DV. Determine the degree of change, using the mean difference between phases A and B. How much change occurred? Be specific (use numbers). Include the graphs/charts from your tracking app(s) here or at the end of the paper under Appendix (after References).

Discussion

Was the intervention successful clinically? Why or why not? Discuss the potential effects of adherence, missing data, motivation, circumstances, and other factors on your results. What conclusions are you drawing from this study?
