Report writing
An important part of the process of science is the communication of results to the wider scientific community in a more or less standard format. You need to learn this format, and how to write up the results of your studies within it.
These general guidelines aim to assist you in developing your report writing skills.
Your report should follow the general plan of a research paper in a Public Health journal. It should give the rationale for your research, methods, results and implications of your findings. These descriptions and explanations must be full, precise and concise. This is to allow efficient communication of your research findings and to allow other researchers to repeat your study. Therefore, you have to squeeze a lot of information into a short report which is nevertheless easy to read.
FACTORS THAT AFFECT CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
Cholesterol has been described by Mayo Clinic as a “waxy molecule” which is present in the bloodstream. It is required by the human body to form cells which are healthy. However, high levels of cholesterol have been noted with the capacity to increase the risk of various heart diseases. The sterol kind of chemical is found in almost all body tissues. Cholesterol and its derivatives form major components of cell membranes and precursors for the formation of other steroid chemicals, however, note that a high proportion of low-density lipoprotein in the blood (and hence to the tissues) is linked to a higher risk of coronary heart disease. One can get fatty deposits in the arteries and veins if he/she have a high cholesterol. The deposits will eventually accumulate to a point where the flow of blood through the arteries is being impeded. These deposits can sometimes rupture and form clots, resulting in a heart attack or stroke (Mayo clinic family health book).
High cholesterol is genetic (i.e it can be passed down from parents to offspring through the genes), but it’s also majorly the result of poor lifestyles, making it to be avoidable and treatable. High cholesterol can be managed by eating low fat diet, frequent physical exercises, and in many cases, use of medication (such as clopidogrel).
Smoking is regarded as an important factor responsible for coronary heart disease, 17 percent of cancer deaths and 17.2 percent of potential life lost. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 13 percent of adults’ smoke. The habit of smoking has negative effect on the fat profile, including a high concentration of the LDL cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol levels (Anandha Lakshmi et al., 2014). The nicotine contained in cigarettes interferes with cholesterol metabolism in the body. Cigarette smokers display a significant increase in the total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels compared to non-smokers (He et al., 2013). Even after accounting for the smoking history and other cardiovascular disease risk factors, smokers tend to have less favourable lipid profiles (Armitage, 2019). Cholesterol is defined as a waxy substance that the body needs to build cell membranes. Cholesterol is made by the liver and can be measured in the blood. Since cholesterol cannot dissolve in blood, it is transported as lipoproteins. The two cholesterol types are; low density lipoprotein (LDL) also known as the bad fats and high density lipoprotein (HDL) regarded as the good cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is regarded as a better gauge of cardiovascular disease risk that total blood cholesterol (He et al., 2013).

Impact of Single-Sex Classrooms on Girl’s Academic Achievement
In the United States and across the globe, there have been continuous changes in the education systems with the primary goal of improving academic achievement (Tereliansky et al., 2019). Despite the changes and improvements that have been made, under-achievement among some students has remained to be a challenge, prompting stakeholders in the education sector to look for strategic approaches to enhance instruction quality targeting specific groups (Hill, 2021). In recent years, researchers, educators, and other stakeholders have shown interest in single-sex education, as a potential strategy for improving the overall levels of academic performance (Koniewski & Hawrot, 2021; Sikora, 2014). Supporters of single-sex education have the conviction that such a learning environment protects students from gender stereotypes and attraction to the opposite sex, which, in turn, helps in improving the levels of academic achievement (Dustmann & Ku, 2018; Kirabo, 2021)
unhealthy eating behaviours
external eating is defined as an increase in food intake triggered by external food cues rather than by an internal state of hunger or satiety, 2) restrained eating associates to an intended effort to reach or preserve a desired weight through reducing calory consumption, and 3) emotional eating is defined as an increase in food consumption triggered by an internal state of emotional arousal, such as anger, fear, sadness or happiness. This research recruited participants that self-identify as eating emotionally.

Research paradigms for Counselling Psychology
A paradigm is defined as a “set of assumptions about the social world which provides a philosophical and conceptual framework for the study of that world” (Filstead, 1979, in Ponterotto, 2005, p. 127). According to their chosen research paradigm, researchers will hold specific views about the nature of reality (ontology), knowledge and knowing (epistemology), values of research (axiology), and the process and procedures of research (methodology) (Ponterotto, 2005).
