When you develop a research project, you need to have a reliable and valid method of measurement in your
study. Using your anticipated research proposal (Hand Washing in the Hospital Setting), how will you address
the issues of reliability and validity? What concerns do you have over reliability and validity in your study and
how will you overcome these concerns? Next, read two of your classmates’ posts and analyze how they
addressed reliability and validity in their studies. Do you have any recommendations for improving reliability
and validity?
