MAT 133 Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric Overview: The final project for this course is the creation of a research study report. Using your work from Milestone One, you will now add a draft of the second section of your report. Prompt: Draft the “Analysis” section of your final project. Address the following critical elements:
I. Analyze the research methods of the study. In other words, how did the researchers test their hypotheses related to the research questions? What, if any, assumptions did the researchers make in order to conduct their research?
II. Examine the outcomes of those tests. What were the major findings (i.e., did they reject or fail to reject the hypotheses and why)? Submit your Milestone Two submission to the assignment page in Module Four. You will be graded based on the rubric information below. Be sure to incorporate any feedback that you received from your first milestone into the “Introduction” section and submit it along with the “Analysis” section. You will also be sharing your ideas for your analysis to the discussion board for feedback. Make sure to respond to your peers with thoughts and information to help them improve their work for the final project submission (later in the course).
Rubric Guidelines for Submission: Overall, your “Introduction” and “Analysis” sections should be 2 to 3 pages in length (plus a cover page and references) and must be written in APA format. Use double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Cite all references in APA format. Note: This rubric is tailored to this assignment and awards full points for “Proficient.” For the final project, you will need to demonstrate “Exemplary” achievement to earn full points. To see how you will be graded on your final project, review the Final Project Guidelines and Rubric document (in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course).

Analysis of “Partnership After Prison: Couple Relationships During Reentry”
Sabrina Middleton
Southern New Hampshire University
Math – 133
November 4th, 2022
The study that I picked was Partnership after prison: Couples relationships during reentry. The primary focus of this research is on couples after the man has been released from prison and is reentering society. They were thinking about how long the relationship would last. They were also curious about the relationship before and after prison. This study focused on men who had recently been released from prison for the second time. The study also focuses on what could potentially affect the couple’s relationship.
The purpose of this study was to show what life is really like when trying to adjust to life after getting out of jail. In addition, the data and information obtained during the study were used towards reducing the number of repeated offenders while encouraging positive interaction and communication with their partner. The use of statistical data made it easier to find out what methods were most likely useful and which options should be made available to the detained person both before and after release to help with their relationship and the life challenges the detainee may face once released. The study’s goal is to demonstrate how programs and support can help people successfully reenter society with the person they are in a relationship with.
For this study, 641 couples who were in relationships with the male incarcerated were interviewed. The majority of the couples in the study were not legally married but had long-term relationships. A high percentage of the males in the research couples had previous incarcerations on their record, with an average of 6.5 and 7.0 prior incarcerations during adulthood (Comfort et al., 2018). This demonstrated that the couples had been through similar experiences and were not new to this type of relationship. The demographics are released prisoners and their spouses.

In Milestone One, you drafted the Introduction section and received feedback from your faculty member. Now, you are ready to draft the Analysis section.
In this section of your research report, you will examine the data collected in Milestone Two and make recommendations based on what you have learned from it. You should include:
An overview of what happened during milestone two (for example: how many participants did we have? What were their ages?)
Any new discoveries about our participants’ experiences with healthcare providers or other services offered by organizations such as hospitals or clinics (for example: did they experience problems getting appointments or filling prescriptions?)
Any trends that emerged during our research process (for example: did any particular groups seem more likely than others to experience certain types of issues related to access?).
Overview
Milestone 2: The “Analysis” section of your research study report.
Your work will include an introduction, findings and conclusions sections. In this milestone, you will write the analysis section of your research study report by incorporating feedback from the previous milestone into it. You should be able to explain what you did in Milestone 1 and how it relates to Milestone 2 by using one or more examples from that period of time (for example: “In Milestone One I found out about…”). If there was any confusion about something that happened during earlier stages of this project then make sure to explain what happened so other people don’t get confused as well!
Evaluation of Data Analysis
In the “Analysis” section of your research study report, you will evaluate the data analysis based on the research question and method. You will also evaluate the data analysis based on the data collection technique.
You should consider these factors when evaluating your results:
Does it accurately reflect what I found in my fieldwork?
Is there enough evidence to support or refute my findings?
Can I use this information to make informed decisions about how to proceed with future research projects (e.g., where I should focus my efforts)?

Conclusion
Congratulations! You are now one step closer to completing your research study report. In the next milestone, we will introduce you to the section that describes your analysis and conclusion.
