Survey – The health care related research
Survey
The health care related research topic that I choose is “the overall quality of diabetes health care over the past 5 years”. Diabetes is a major health care concerns
for most US citizens. There is concern whether patients are receiving quality health care to control their conditions. The study will involve approximately 30 patients
have been suffering from diabetes for more than 5 years. They will complete a survey to examine the general quality of diabetes health care in the past 12 months
compared to the other years. The participants will fill in a questionnaire; if possible I will also conduct a face to face interview. The hypothesis for this study is
that the quality of diabetes health care has improved over the last 1 year (Grant, 2014).
