An Introduction to Quantitative Research Design for Students in Health Sciences was developed to promote evidence-informed practice for healthcare professionals and students. The chapters of this book focus on Research Design. We believe that understanding Research Design can enhance confidence in reading research, and subsequently, help students become better consumers of research.
By the end of this module, learners will be able to: identify the purpose of the Research Design, distinguish between the three main Research Designs – experimental, quasi-experimental, and non-experimental, determine which design to use, and apply level of evidence based on the Research Design
