Description
This course will cover research conceptualization and question formation based on evidentiary support, study design, data analysis techniques, and critical review of the literature. An overview of non-experimental, quasi-experimental, and experimental study designs, including the options for sampling and formulating a rigorous methodology within those study designs, and their applicability to research questions will be covered. Introduction to basic statistical methods will be considered and publicly available sources of data through organizations such as AHRQ, CDC, NCBI, and CRISP will be introduced.
