Week 1
A systematic investigation including research development, testing, and
evaluation, designed to develop or contribute to generalizable knowledge
What is Research?
This is the empirical method of acquiring knowledge that has characterized the development of science since the 17th century.
What is the scientific method?
Reports what was found from the study in great detail. States these findings without bias or interpretation. Written in past tense.
What is results?
The one with time 1 and time 2. Also group one and group two.
Pretest Posttest Control Group Design
The number of people who participated divided by the number of people asked to participate.
These are the three basic ethical principles outlined in the Belmont Report.
Respect to persons, Beneficence, Justice
A principle set to explain phenomena already supported by data.
What is a theory?
Describes exact procedures used in study, including participants, eligibility, recruitment, and response rate. Also includes analysis and IRB approval.
What is methods?
Has two r's and one x and two o's. experimental and control rows.
posttest-only control group design
This kind of interview aims to collect data about a broader population to test a hypothesis and generate generalizable knowledge.
These are the two components requiring IRB review.
Human subjects, research
Logical, Confirmable, Repeatable, Scrutinizable
What are the four key characteristics of the scientific method?
explains the problem under investigation. establishes values/rationale for the study.
Introduction
the one with four groups
Solomon four-group design
Name three differences between a poll and survey.
Poll: don't need detailed responses, need immediate feedback, only one question to ask, no time for analysis
Survey: need detailed and extensive feedback, have many questions to ask, need to gather personal info, require text comments
What were the main issues with the Tuskegee Syphilis study?
Lack of informed consent, deception, the exploitation of vulnerable populations, and denial of penicillin treatment.
These are the two primary types of scientific reasoning.
Deductive (quantitative) and inductive (qualitative).
This is an article summary, info about why the research study was conducted, what the methods were, and the main findings.
What is an abstract?
XO1
one-group posttest only design
50%
Key features of an informed consent?
Providing participant eligibility information, ensuring comprehension, promoting voluntariness, documenting that the participant agreed.
These are studies that are subjective, exploratory, context-dependent, and carried out via people.
What are qualitative studies?
A review that aims to be rigorous, but has time and/or resource constraints. Used in instances such as a public health emergency and ranges from a few weeks to a few months to conduct.
What is a rapid review?
the one with the circles and x(treatment)
Post-test only design with nonequivalent groups
Those who respond differ from those who do not in important ways relevant to your research
