A description of the research methodology you have  chosen (i.e., quantitative, qualitative, or mixed) and a justification  of this approach as best suited to address the problem and answer the specific research questions. A  discussion on the research design you have proposed (e.g., case study,  quasi-experimental, etc.) and a justification of this design as the best  choice and its ability to align with other aspects of the study. A  description of the data collection process, with justifications, to  include a discussion of the population and sampling technique and any  instruments you plan to use (e.g., survey, interview protocol), An overview of the process for data collection and any challenges you envision.

Case Studies

Anorexia

Beth is a normal child raised in a well-balanced home by caring parents. As a teenager, she began to experience an overwhelming fear of gaining weight and becoming fat. Her fear was unfounded because Beth’s weight was normal for her height and age. Beth began to diet and lose weight, but regardless of how much she weighed, she had a very poor self-image. Beth has become dangerously thin, but she denies the seriousness of her condition. Regardless of how much weight she loses, she feels like she needs to lose more. Beth has missed several menstrual cycles and continues to severely restrict her food intake. Her weight continues to drop. Beth’s mother and father are deeply concerned, but they do not know how to help their daughter (PsychCentral®, 2006).

Drug Abuse

Ron is a 33-year-old man who has been in and out of the court/jail system for the last several years. He started drinking as a teenager but his alcohol abuse began to be a serious problem in his late 20s. Ron has several DUI’s (driving under the influence) and has been arrested several times, but he seems unable to control his drinking. To his credit, he admits that he is an alcoholic. Ron has been through a variety of inpatient treatment facilities for his alcoholism, but after a brief time of sobriety, he has always relapsed back into his daily abuse of alcohol. His wife is concerned about him, but she does not know what to do for her husband.
