Project

My project is basically just strating out. I know the topics I am going to focus around, and most of the questions I am going to ask. Most of my questions are yes and no while some are like the lickert scale. My case study is going to focus on concussions in the media, and how they bring about awareness and a personal story of a someone who had a concussion. Most of my questions are basic, but at the end I am also going to include a place for comments so people can explain in detail why they avoided concussion warnings.  I am really excied for people to start answering the questions and recieving the results. Through my project I hope to bring about awareness so other people who are faced in this situation can know the seriousness and take  precautions when they get a concussion.

My project is going to focus on concussions; the reasons why people ignore the warning signs, and how we can show the seriousness of these injuries. For my project I plan to do a case study and a survey. I was thinking of focusing on one group of people, but then I decided to include all people boys and girls all ages to really get a sense of what people think throughout many different ages. I want to also include both athletes and non athletes to see the different opinions. I am going to do a survey, about different questions and topics like
- why people avoid warning signs
 - how can we draw more attention to this injury
  - do different sports expect differnt things or have different ideas on concussions
- why you would/wouldn't avoid the warning signs
- does you school/family effect your decisions on head injuries
My procedure is going to include articles about concussions. I want to include some stories about the long-lasting effects of concussions as well. I want to have the survey to show different peoples thoughts on concussions. Overall, I want to see the factors that play into concussions whether it be school, family or choices pertaining to the injury. I want people to know the seriousness of concussions and that they are not something that can be pushed to the side.

2nd Quarter Project

For my second semester project I decided to do a case study on concussions. Over the past few weeks I have been blogging regularly about different topic throughout the health world, and my last post on concussions was really the most interesting for me. I am an athlete and I think that is what draws me to this topic. I am going to research about why people avoid the warning signs and how we can draw more attention to the seriousness of this injury. I am also going to incorporate factors of money, class, family, friends, and schooling to my research, and add surveys to show others' opinions and thoughts.
I am really excited for this part of the project, I did enjoy blogging but I am glad to focus on 1 topic in health care.
