Research Topic and Type of Data

In the research study that is based on whether the treatment provided and offered to African American male prisoners are sufficient to cure Hepatitis C infection, primary and secondary data will be used. Primary data is a term that is original material; such sources are closely related to the original event, discovery, or the phenomenon being studied. Primary data for this study can provide new thinking, new discoveries or new information about the present day treatment of Hepatitis C of African American male prisoners. Besides it, secondary sources are based on primary researches carried out by the past researchers and developed which are commented and criticized.

Method of Data Collection- Instrument

The method of data collection which is used for this manuscript is the questionnaire. Questionnaire is a survey tool or program for data collection. The language used in the questionnaire will be based on simple and straightforward for participants to understand clearly what is being asked. It is not recommended to use in appropriate language or informal language, unless that is made ??necessary by the need for features of language group (Bulley Donaghy, Payne & Mutrie, 2007). In addition to this, each questionnaire to be sent to the participants must pass a pre-test stage so they can correct any errors in its formulation.

Type of Instrument Used and Data

Importantly, the sources can be considered as primary or secondary depending on the purpose of the investigation; however, for this particular study that is whether the treatment provided and offered to African American male prisoners are sufficient to cure Hepatitis C infection, both primary and secondary data is used. Examples of primary data in an enterprise economic evaluation of a particular event can be diary entries from the event, comments made in connection with the incident, publications in magazines in the occurrence, photographs or video recordings of the event (Crosby, DiClemente & Salazar, 2006).

The advantages of the use of secondary data for the effective treatment of African American male prisoners is that it saves time, money and effort because the necessary data are available for research in secondary sources and will require only the effort to dedicate some time to libraries, visits to government agencies, reading newspapers and magazine or queries standardized information from research firms, will require only a few days and will involve little cost. In particular, for the study, secondary data can get help in following ways:

Find variables that proved important in similar studies;

Formulate investigative problems and to find scores were worth investigating;

Get information about the suitability of a prospective study method;

See how the other studies are analyzed with respect to the data gathered ...
