Hi all!

I’m taking a statistics class and the assignment is to create a quantitative manuscript. The prof wants us to use a publicly available dataset and then create a research question, do the stats/analysis and write the manuscript (instructions: Choose a research question that aligns with the available data in the selected dataset and is relevant to your chosen context). I’m thinking of using this database:

Hospitalization and Childbirth, 1995–1996 to 2023-2024 — Supplementary Statistics

https://www.cihi.ca/en/access-data-and-reports/data-tables?keyword=birth&published_date=All&acronyms_databases=All&type_of_care=All&place_of_care=All&population_group=All&health_care_quality=All&health_conditions_outcomes=All&health_system_overview=All&sort_by=field_published_date_value&items_per_page=10&page=0

I’m interested in maternal health, but I’m really struggling with creating a research question. I just don’t understand how you can do it from a database – I’m a qualitative researcher so i’m use to always doing data collection. Any help would be so greatly appreciated
