  1. This is a great topic and has potential to benefit students. Do you think that it will help your project to narrow down from minority males to one specific group? It might make it easier to track and collect data. I suspect that the issues would be similar for all groups, and that interventions and motivations might work for all as well. Just a thought. Good luck with your research!
