Qualitative Research Article



Qualitative Research Article

This is a analysis on a research reported by Highert (2004) that explores the role of cannibis in supporting young peoples cigarette smoking. The purpose of this written analysis is to determine the quality of the research on the basis of the information provided in the article.

Title

In order to have a good title the research paper needs to create a positive outcome and stimulate the reader's interests by using the present classifications of the field, indicating the subject and the scope with some accuracy, identifing key variables, both reliant and independent, Suggests a connection between variables which carries the primary hypothesis, is restricted to 15 to 20 substantive words, Does not encompass "study of," "analysis of" and should suggest a connection between variables which carries the foremost hypothesis (Kumar 2004).

This research paper has a good title and it virtually shows the subject of study paper accuratelyby giving a clear and concise picture of the studys content.

Abstract

A good abstract is a brief comprehensive summary of the contents of what to expect from the article. (Borbasi, Jackson & Langford, 2004, p.159). The abstract should provide the reader with an overview of the research question , aim, methods adopted and the main results of the study (Holloway, Wheeler , 2002, p.269). There should be a key judgment to establish what is described in the paper; they may have a couple of judgments to let people understand the experiment and should give the major outcomes from the experiment. Finally, a mention of the major outcome and to draw a conclusion. (ref)

This study paper abstract is adequate because it includes some judgments that displays the backdrop of the research. Though this backdrop is not a reconsider of publications and lets the reader understand the implication of research. Thus, the outcome is more involved by readers.

Study has proposed that cannabis use may have risk for later escalation of tobacco use and nicotine dependence (Agrawal et al., 2008: Patton et al., 2005: Timberlake et al., 2007: and Tullis et al., 2003). These quantitative investigations validate clues from qualitative evaluations in which adolescents described a exclusive connection between their cannabis and tobacco use, with each fostering the extended use of the other ([Amos et al., 2004], [Clough et al., 2004] and [Highet, 2004]).

 

For this research paper the writer has characterised hypothesis and as emhazised by the writer some hypotheses have been suggested to interpret the connection between cannabis and tobacco use, encompassing a distributed genetic liability (Neale et al., 2006), probably mediated by receptor cross-tolerance (Viveros et al., 2006); overlapping environmental risk leverages (e.g. gaze groups) (Highet, 2003); the addition of tobacco in blunts (Golub et al., 2005); and eventually, the widespread path of management for ...
