At any rate, the identity of the subjects may not be significant. What will be needed are basic demographic information (such as age, level of family income etc.), and the direct answers to the survey questions.

A second ethical consideration is the use of other research paper or reports as references. But this can be easily solved by citing all the references that I will be using though a credible citation style. This then shows that the research abides with the copyright law of those published journals, articles and/or reports.

Measurement

Summary of the reviewed literature will serve as one major factor for the conclusion. This will provide amble information regarding the subject matter. From the said literature review, statistics and other vital information regarding parent smokers and children smokers will be revealed. This information is not limited from one country or area alone, because for sure, the epidemiology and smokers-related information will involve a lot of countries around the globe.

Meanwhile, the responses of the interviewees will also be summarized. The responses will be classified in relation to the number of respondents/interviewees. Basically in the end of the interview, two major classifications will be achieved:

The respondents (parents or teenagers) who will disclose that they become smokers because they have seen it from their own parents

The respondents (parents and teenagers) who will reveal that they are not affected in anyway of their smoker parents

Data Collection Methods

This research study will be done in two separate ways. First of which is the literature review which will be done through web and library research. The credible journals, researches and reports that will be collected related to the study are those which have been printed or published during the years 1990 to the present.

Meanwhile the survey and/or interview will be conducted in one community alone. This will be done in 4 consecutive weekends. The target community is the one with greater number of smokers (which can be determined from the health sector). Only the parents who smoke will be subjected for interview. After the parents, their very own children will then be asked to also participate in the interview.
