There is little knowledge of leishmaniasis among Syrian refugees. Which type of research ismost likely to be done on the disease? Descriptive Correlational Experimental Quasi-experimental

Descriptive When little knowledge is available, descriptive studies are conducted to provide a basis for correlational research. Descriptive and correlational studies are conducted frequently to provide a basis for the more highly controlled experimental and quasi-experimental studies.

"Participants with prediabetes or T2D ( n = 128) were prescribed a 3-month daily energy restriction of 2.1 MJ and a macronutrient-matched diet and instructed on specific types and quantities of foods to be consumed with an emphasis on replacing saturated fats with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Participants were followed up at the 9- and 12-month visits." In which section of a research report would this statement likely be found? Results Discussion Introduction Methodology
