Selection Method- Qualifying students  that attend the ASU Tempe campus will be randomly chosen by a random number generator. ]]> 2020-10-13 17:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826045938 sagu974 https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826095498 The goal of the experiment is to determine if students between the ages of 18 and 21 receive enough vitamin D.]]> 2020-10-13 18:04:40 UTC https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826095498 sagu974 https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826108494 The seventy five units of the experiment will be randomly divided in three groups of twenty five units each. 
Group 1- Will be receiving Vitamin D supplements 
Group 2- Will receive a placebo vitamin D capsule
Group 3- Control, will not receive anything ]]> 2020-10-13 18:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826108494 sagu974 https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826125457 The vitamin D supplement or placebo. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:11:31 UTC https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826125457 sagu974 https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826129855 Vitamin D levels on each individual. ]]> 2020-10-13 18:12:32 UTC https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826129855 sagu974 https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826160384 The control group who will not receive anything will be used to compare the normal vitamin D levels v. the ones who were given the supplements or placebo.]]> 2020-10-13 18:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826160384 sagu974 https://padlet.com/sagu974/g5udo4gfcv2yr0ui/wish/826171605 There is a blind in the study as the varying diets of the students could supply more vitamin D to ones than others or even something such as sun exposure could change vitamin D levels of the units.
