It is of great importance as you move forward on the dissertation journey to have a clearly defined “trio”—research problem, purpose statement, and central research question. For this Discussion Board assignment, you have three tasks to complete for your primary response:
- Restate your general research interest that you provided in the U1 DB (introductory) primary post.
- Refine your general research interest into a more specific topic and, using this topic, create a research problem, purpose statement, and central research question that are closely aligned with one another in content.
- Write a short statement justifying how your research topic is aligned with and appropriate to your degree field (e.g., DM, DCS) and concentration (e.g., project management, big data analytics).
Research Topic: Parental Decision of children getting vaccinated or non-vaccinated under the age of 12 in the U.S.
