  1. Great job Megan! A few suggestions...

    Purpose: change phenomenology to phenomenological study...

    Central Question should come directly from the purpose:
    1. What are SLPs' experiences with the 3:1 service delivery model in the state of Georgia?

    2. What are SLPs' experiences with job-related stress in the state of Georgia? (OR what are the main factors that contributed to perceived...), but I like their experiences with stress better.

    3. How have SLPs' experiences with the 3:1 service delivery model affected their job-related stress levels? (or something like this; you can't ask a yes/no question).

    4. How does using the 3:1 service delivery model affect SLPs' intent to stay in the profession? (or something like this; this is more qualitative in nature compared to the question you posed above).
