Initial Post Instructions
The reasoning used in inductive generalization is based on empirical observations
and the inferences we draw from such observations. As such, it is closely allied to
the scientific method. It is also the method used in polls and surveys; reports of the
results of these polls and surveys can heavily influence decision making in health
professions and other areas of public opinion.
For the initial post, address the following:
Using what you learn from the text and from research you conduct from other
sources, analyze polls and surveys.
- If we simply read a report of a poll, how can we know if the poll is
reliable? What criteria do we use to analyze them?
- What part do polls and surveys play in medical research?
- Of what value are public opinion polls?
