Intended to enable new researchers to carry out their own unique research projects, the third edition of Health Research Methods Overview: An Application Guide leads readers through the process of conducting quantitative and qualitative research in the fields of medicine, public health, and other areas of clinical and population health. Divided into five sections, this book covers every aspect of the research journey from formulating a research query and selecting a research approach to collecting, analyzing data, and communicating the results. Chapters on strategies for primary research (acquiring new data), secondary analyses (examining existing data), and tertiary research (conducting literature reviews and meta-analyses) offer a comprehensive overview of health research breadth. By simplifying the research process into a series of manageable steps, Health Research Methods Overview demonstrates to students and early career scholars how they can contribute to enhancing the health and well-being of individuals and communities through research activities. The Third Edition has been substantially revised to include: – Expanded discussion on qualitative research methods, introducing new sections on qualitative research layout, data gathering, and data evaluation. – Additional glossary definitions that elucidate key terminology across all research phases and various research methodologies. – Improved guidance on selecting and implementing quantitative and qualitative research and analysis methods. – Fresh and updated content on areas like formulating research queries, establishing testable hypotheses, defining specific objectives, conducting research responsibly, selecting research formats, reducing bias, applying theoretical frameworks, ensuring quality and reproducibility, conducting quality assessment, managing grants, and more.
