Description: | Select Guide Rating Designed to equip those doing research with the knowledge and tools they need to inform their methodological decisions when planning and conducting studies, this book describes both commonly used methods for health intervention research and outlines the theoretical reasoning underlying these different approaches. At a time when evidence-based practice is the standard bearer for understanding health behaviour, problems and interventions, ensuring that researchers know the appropriate designs and methods for their research is more paramount than ever. Health Intervention Research will equip those doing research in these communities with the knowledge and tools they need to inform their methodological decisions when planning and conducting studies.
This book describes both commonly used (e.g., randomized clinical trials) and advanced (e.g. preference trials, pragmatic trials) designs and methods for health intervention research. It outlines the theoretical reasoning underlying these different approaches, and synthesizes the evidence which supports or disputes different designs and methods.
This will be key reading for postgraduates and novice researchers in health and clinical psychology, health sciences and nursing. |
