Activity T2
From Concept to Hypothesis
Research Gap: Copy the sentence/s from the article which presents the research gap.
Comparison of knowledge about CVD among different populations is challenging
because the studies are carried out with different designs and measurement
tools. There are no standardized, validated questionnaires to compare results
from different cultural backgrounds
By assessing the population awareness, we hope that we will have accurate solid
data representing the UAE that will allow us to be able to develop strategies to
overcome the most significant risk factor in our region, aiming to reduce CVD
mortality
The participants were selected using simple randomization approach in PHC.
The inclusion criteria mandated participants to be 30 years of age and above, not
to be a health care provider, willing to participate in the survey, sign informed
consent, have appropriate cognitive skills, and read and understand in English or
Arabic (e.g., the local language). Both UAE citizens nationals and expatriates
were included in the study.
Instruction: Use the ancestry approach literature search strategy. Enumerate the first 3
articles cited using the APA format.

1976, 1978) to fit the study of the article downloaded. If a hypothesis was explicitly
provided by the article based on the HBM, you may copy it. The HBM is described
