The assignment (1–3 pages):

  • Briefly describe each of the studies in the two research articles you selected. Include a description of the results of the studies and the correlational relationship reported.
  • Explain the strengths and limitations of using a correlational design in each of the studies.
  • Be sure to address the following in your assignment:
    • Discuss correlation and what it means.
    • Summarize 2 articles and how they utilized a correlation approach.

Consider connections between physiological development, adolescence, and eating disorders.)

      Submit a 2- to 4-page paper for which you articulate a position on eating disorders in adolescent girls from diverse racial and cultural experiences. Explain how the position is related to the biological and/or physiological development as well as psychological development of adolescent girls. Further, explain how such findings can inform evidence-based social work practice. Please use the Learning Resources and the research study you identified to support your answer.
