After a brainstorming session with my Mom, I think I have a clear grasp
on my project. My research will be divided into 2 parts. First, a survey
given to a test group of approximately 200 people separated by age.
This questionnaire will ask basic questions -- "Do you have headaches?
How frequently? Typical duration? Pain level from 1-10, and What most
likely triggers your headaches?" As a headache patient I understand the
difficulty of pinpointing triggers, but I know it is definitely
possible. With each headache one can usually guess what brought it on;
which leads me to the second part of my project.. After administering
the survey and recording/organizing my data, I will assess why
the headaches are occuring by comparing and contrasting the common
triggers in the U.S. with the most common triggers in Tonga. I know some
will be similar because of our underlying human anatomy, but I also
hypothesize a difference as several of the common headache causes here
will vary there. [ie: stress]
Hey Mom, thanks for the brainsurge. (Jimmy Neutron)
