The Association Between Sleep Disturbance and Depressive symptoms
I conducted a survey looking for the association between sleep disturbance and depressive symptoms. It will first ask for your age and sex. It will then use the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CESD-R) to assess the presence of depressive symptoms, which consists of 20 questions. You will then complete the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality, which consists of 19 individual questions that create 7 components. Participants will complete the study by clicking on the appropriate answer of the measurement used.
Since Im not a liberty to suggest who has depression or not infer to people with higher scores on the CESD-R as (still healthy) individuals that may have a greater tendency to depression.
The report should be around 7500 words and all data analysis should only be through SPSS.
The writer should also provide (on a separate document)
-SPSS output (usually only quantitative)
– SPSS data files (usually only quantitative)
I have attached the outline and guidelines the writer needs to follow for the report. (The declaration, acknowledgement and appendix section is not needed)

In the attachments below I have attached my proposal so the writer can get a clearer idea of what the study is about. As well as the raw SPSS data which needs to be analysed.
This was a tip from my supervisor for the analysis section
“You could include sleep disturbance as a potential predictor in a MLR model that you could run using a survey.”
