Feedback:
The research design is the overall plan for answering research questions. In quantitative studies, the design designates whether there is an intervention, the nature of any comparisons, methods for controlling confounding variables, whether there will be blinding, and the timing and location of data collection. Choosing a conceptual framework is not a significant part of the research design for quantitative studies but is more important in qualitative studies.
