Target Population

Post an analysis of ethical considerations for target populations within the doctoral research process. Your analysis should include the following:

• Briefly describe a target population within your Doctoral Study, including any relevant factors that could be scrutinized by an IRB committee.
• Identify specific ethical considerations for the target population within your Doctoral Study, including access, data, or publication restrictions, for example. 
• Explain how this population and its ethical considerations impact both the process and the overall value of your doctoral research study. 

Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this week’s Learning Resources and at least one additional scholarly source.

Question

When should an alternative hypothesis be accepted and rejected? Does this rejection/acceptance rest on the alpha value or the critical value?
