Interoception and Adherence to Medication for Chronic Illnesses

Research Proposal (2000 word)

Ethic Paper (1000 Word)

(both of these need to be indifferent documentation)

– Better to keep it broad and just look at predictors of adherence generally across multiple health conditions.

– the research is not about treatment procedures. It is about adherence to medication.

– Research: definition of interception needs to be more accurate / precise and include a citation. it is not know if adherence impacts adherence to medication ( that is the whole point of the research)

– current study: Identify a gap in current research and say what you will do ( to address the gap)

need to specify more clearly the “influencing factors” what are they? what are they influencing?

purpose: too broad to say the purpose is to understand if people follow advice of their doctors. we are only looking at one specific thing – medication adherence.

methodology:

– cross sectional is correct however descriptive is not correct

IV: How will you measure it?

DV: How will you measure it?

Sample size: Give fully details of power calculation.

procedure: Add one.

expected results:

– hypothesis should be specific sooner before the methodology. hypothesis needs to be rephrased to be more precise prediction about how level of interoceptive ability might predict adherence to medication. Use terms that have define/explained before and not new terms or a variation on these terms. Specify the direction of the expected effect.
