You have been selected to work on a project in the obstetrical clinic. Your task is to investigate the association of small fetal size on ultrasound at 10-19 weeks gestation, with maternal tobacco use and subsequent early preterm birth & low birth weight.

Step One: Write out a hypothesis for this retrospective study, and design how you would conduct the investigation and research. Include how you would present the statistical data (descriptive and inferential). Be sure to detail any ethical issues and/or HIPPA issues.

Step Two: In a 2 page paper compile your research and ideas into a cohesive, professional document with a minimum of two outside resources and proper APA format.
