Identify a topic of your choice that is relevant to Health studies and social care ; review the literature on this topic to identify a gap in knowledge. Develop a research question and identify a suitable methodology (qualitative or quantitative), research design and sampling strategy that would enable you to answer this question. Design a data collection instrument (i.e. questionnaire, focus group/interview schedule, diary, observation checklist or rating scale) that will address your research question. Provide a rationale for instrument development in your literature review. Discuss the strengths and limitations of your data collection tool in the discussion.
