HAPU
Submit 2-3 pages describing the Methods/Design and Statistical Analysis that you will use in your project. Use the evidence from the peer reviewed articles that you have critically appraised and synthesized. Follow APA format and cite references. Include the following:
1. Describe the evaluative criteria (indicators or variables) to be addressed in answering each evaluation question.
2. Describe the research approaches to be used to answer each question and why they are appropriate to the evaluation questions posed.
3. Describe in specific detail how data will be collected related to each of your evaluative criteria/indicators. Discuss exactly how the data be collected, when, and by whom. Describe any data collection tools in terms of their development and appropriateness in answering the evaluation questions. Provide information on validity and reliability of tools, if available. Explain why the data collection methods are appropriate to the research approach, type of data, and purpose of the evaluation.
4. Describe how you will analyze the data, including specific statistical tests to be used. Include dummy data tables if applicable to show how you will display your findings.
Discuss how your research inquiry relates to evidence-based practice. What practice improvement outcomes do you expect your inquiry to accomplish? How do you intend to evaluate your capstone project?

The Methods/Design and Statistical Analysis section of my project proposal:
- Evaluative Criteria
- Effectiveness: To what extent has the HAPU program been effective in achieving its goals?
- Acceptability: To what extent is the HAPU program acceptable to the participants and stakeholders?
- Sustainability: To what extent is the HAPU program sustainable in the long term?
- Research Approaches
- Effectiveness: A quasi-experimental design will be used to compare the outcomes of participants in the HAPU program to those of a control group.
- Acceptability: A qualitative approach will be used to collect data on the participants' and stakeholders' perceptions of the HAPU program.
- Sustainability: A mixed-methods approach will be used to collect data on the financial, organizational, and social sustainability of the HAPU program.
- Data Collection
- Effectiveness: The following data will be collected from participants in the HAPU program and a control group:

- Organizational documents
- Interviews with key stakeholders
- Data Analysis
- Effectiveness: A paired t-test will be used to compare the outcomes of participants in the HAPU program to those of the control group.
- Acceptability: A thematic analysis will be used to analyze the qualitative data.
- Sustainability: A financial analysis will be used to assess the financial sustainability of the HAPU program. A content analysis will be used to assess the organizational and social sustainability of the HAPU program.
