1. I tried to find the article using the school library online database. I first used a general database called Academic OneFile. I tried typing in the journal title, author and publication date. The article still did not come up after trying this a few times. I then decided to try using a psychology database since this is a psychology course. The first database I used was Science Direct. I tried typing in the journal title, author and publication date. No results were found when I used this database. I then tried my last online database from the school which was ProQuest. I again attempted to type in the journal title, author and publication date. A few articles came up but none of them were the one that I needed. I ended up searching the

7. The participants of this study varied in age group. They ranged from college students to middle age (55).
8. No, I do not believe that the article used random assignment. I say this because they tested two participant groups, participants that were 55 and under that had lung cancer and the other were frequent cannabis users. They did a specific screening of lung cancer participants because they did not want them “if they had lung metastasis from a distant primary other than lung, or a histological diagnosis of carcinoid or melanoma” as well as other factors. However, in regards to the non-lung cancerous participants they did a random electoral
