Activity
Three steps
- 1
Describe the idea
Name the concern, population, outcome, place, and time as plainly as you can.
- 2
Compare workable questions
Look at the data each route needs, the evidence that matters, and the main feasibility or validity risk.
- 3
Save your foundation
Keep the selected question, source links, study logic, minimum data, and unresolved choices together.

I have a research idea, but it is still rough: [paste your idea] Help me turn it into something I could realistically study. If one or two missing choices would change the direction, ask me first. Then suggest two or three possible research questions and explain the tradeoffs in plain English. For each route, describe who or what would be studied, the exposure or intervention, the outcome, place and time, likely design, minimum data, and biggest feasibility or validity problem. Tell me which route seems most realistic today, but leave the final choice to me. Do not assume a dataset, approval, citation, or causal relationship that we have not checked.
