Hi everyone,

I would like it if someone could give me some feedback on my research question.

What is the relationship between multiple abortions and the development of uterine cancer.

Thanks in advance

It's an OK research question as is. You would then need to make the next step to write a hypothesis, which could be directional or not. The null hypothesis is that there is no relationship between the 2 variables. "Research questions" and "hypotheses" are not exactly the same thing. Research questions are often stated in more general terms than hypotheses.

About the project though ... what is this research for? Is it for a course requirement? If so, you might want to look closely at the course requirements. While there is nothing wrong with the subject in itself, it may not meet your instructor's preferences for the class. For example: He/she might want you do a project that deals with a nursing intervention ... or that uses an experimental design ... etc. Your chosen topic is epidemiological in nature -- not inappropriate for a nurse to do, but not involving nursing care directly. Your course instructor may prefer that you study a topic that relates more directly to nursing interventions. (But maybe not)
