Final Project & Report
You have been hired by the Provost of GSU to work on a research project. The provost is interested in learning more about students who attend
universities throughout the country, especially in terms of how they are faring. She is requesting a 5-7 page report (double spaced), excluding 1-
2 pages graphs/charts, a cover page, and references (APA style). The report should describe the sample of college students you analyze in terms of
demographic characteristics.
She also is interested in bivariate relationships (relationships between two variables) that would help her understand how students are doing. She is requesting this from you because of your expertise as a criminal justice student. As such, your report should concern issues related to criminology, victimology, criminal justice, and other aspects of the field.
To complete the project, students will be using data from the American College Health
Assessment National College
Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA II). These data reflect survey responses from college students throughout the United States.
- The survey contains data from college students regarding questions about their college experience, their health, and their behavior among other things.
