You Have Decided to Do a Research Study on the Effects

You have decided to do a research study on the effects of a diet high in antioxidant vitamins E and C and beta-carotene on the risk for cardiovascular disease. Provide a brief outline of your research study including: the importance of the study, your hypothesis, the risk factors for cardiovascular disease that you would need to control for, the outcome measures that you would use to determine if the risk is increasing or decreasing, and the dietary intervention. Identify confounding factors that could also change in the treatment diet and consequently affect your study results.
