I. Title
At a word count of 17 words, the title is rather long for an average title length. Moreover, it skipped on important information that will let the readers know the jurisdictional or geographical limit of the study by not mentioning “North Carolina” in the main title. However, it does encapsulate the main variable (“brain health knowledge”) and the principal aim “establish baseline information” and rationale (“interventions to promote adaptation and successful aging”) of the study.

Introduction

A quantitative research design is the process of explaining a situation under observation through collecting numerical data, which is statistically analyzed. Every research must explain a phenomenon (Wetcher-Hendricks, 2011). For example, the two studies selected in this case explain different phenomena. The study by Tesli, Egeland, Sonderby, Haukvik, Bettella, and many others investigates the influence of genetic risk variants such as enlarged ventricles and volumetric reductions on structural brain abnormalities in Bipolar Disorder (BD). The second study by Meesters, Schouws, Stek, Haan, Smit, Eikelenboom, Beekman and Comijs investigated the distinction between the cognitive impairment in late-life schizophrenia and bipolar I disorder. ...

Background

The inclusion of learners with special needs is gradually becoming a major concern to various governments (Holt, 2004). With the enactment of the Disability Discrimination act of 1992 and changes in community perceptions towards individuals with disability in Australia, mainstream primary educational institutions have had to prioritize children with disabilities’ inclusion (Forbes, 2007).
