What is it about?

You will write up the Phase 3 clinical research project that your group outlined in your research proposal (#2). Your group will run the trial using the Island and then your group will pool the data and statistics for you to use in your individual CONSORT research project.

You MUST follow the strict formatting guidelines in the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) 2010 statement and use all major headings/numbers. 

Data from The Islands

Your group is required to collect enough data from The Islands to be able to draw conclusions and do basic statistics. The focus will be on putting your interpretation of the data under the microscope. In week 9, you will have some tutorial time to use the library computers for data collection – most data collection on The Islands needs to be undertaken during the day (just like in real life). You will also have statistics help for the group available in class.
