Rehabilitation Research Boot Camp: Research Priorities & Study Types

Course overview

How does the design of a study dictate the question-types that a study can answer? Inherently, it is imperative that a researcher understand and appropriately use the proper study design for their purposes in research. Although the research pyramid is useful in understanding the roles of study designs, it doesn't necessarily define the intricacies needed to contribute to the evidence. This course introduces a number of study designs through purpose statements and gives perspective of the necessities of each and what one might take away to clinical practice.
