  14. Research design and methods • Study design and analytical procedures • If human subjects are utilized, what is the population of interest, what are their demographic characteristics, how will they be selected/sampled (subheading)

  15. Design and methods • Data collection instruments: if specific questionnaires, tests, or other paper and pencil methods are to be used, what are they?
