1. Identify the purpose, research questions and/or hypotheses for this study.
The purpose of this research was to develop an obesity intervention program for elementary school personnel in order to promote healthy dietary and exercise behaviors.
The researchers hypothesized that (1) randomly assigned individuals employed at school worksites and assigned to be intervention schools would be significantly more likely to lose weight than individuals employed at comparable control worksites, and (2) individuals in intervention schools would be more likely to change their diet and physical activity behaviors as compared to individuals at control worksites (Siegel et al., 2010).

Identify the purpose, research questions and/or hypotheses for this study.
The purpose of this study was to increase the understanding of adolescent depression by interviewing previously depressed young adults (McCarthy et al., 2008). This study inquired about the participants’ depressive symptoms, the help-seeking process, and treatment for depression.
2. What type of research design was used for this study (experimental, non-experimental or qualitative)
The research design used for this study was qualitative, which involved structured interviews of nine young adults who were diagnosed with or treated for depression disorder. The qualitative data were analyzed using the QDA program.
3. What were the main results of this study?
The results revealed five themes: (1) young adults who talked to a counselor about their depression find this very helpful; (2) participants obtained relief in the therapeutic work with counselors; (3) parental (and adult) partnerships were significant; (4) friends of the adolescent clients were perceived as helpful; and (5) the adolescents expressed a realistic optimism when looking back at their experiences (McCarthy et al.,
