In Chapter Two, the risk factors for heart disease and stroke are discussed. The part of the country that we live in is sometimes called the stroke belt and we have high rates of heart disease and stroke. Address these points: (1) Examine the risk factors in the textbook and then explain what habits, lifestyle behaviors and other variables unique to the South increase risk of heart disease and stroke in the South. In other words, what are people who live in the South doing that causes this area to have higher rates of heart attack and stroke than do people who live in other areas?

(2) What changes could be made to reduce the risk factors?

(3) What responsibility do government, schools, social agencies, the food industry, fitness industry have in bringing about changes to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease in the South?

(4) What responsiblity does the individual have in bringing about changes to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease for themselves and for their family

Hi i need comment on my homework or something to add. *argue for and against quantitative and qualitative techniques respectively. which ones would you lean towards when conducting an investigation and why?   quantitative techniques, usually presented through surveys, are more practical, take less time, and can design samples in which any person or household of the target audience has the same probability of participating. however, the questionnaires must be carefully written by highly trained professionals, in such a way that they do not contain ambiguous or biased questions, that they are easily understandable by any member of the sample, and that they contemplate all the objectives of the research. besides that they do not allow to deepen in the reason of the facts. qualitative techniques, on the other hand, are based on the observation of natural behaviors, discourses, open responses for the subsequent interpretation of meanings. studying reality in its natural context can be extremely useful to learn more about the phenomenon studied. however, more specialization is required, they are not applicable to statistics, so it is not possible to make measurements, it entails a higher cost per studied population (which is also reduced), whose results do not necessarily represent the general population. i believe that knowing the situation of the general population, through statistics is essential. in addition, because of the possibility of studying a much larger population in less time and with less amount of economic resources, i would lean towards quantitative research.
