P8617: Research Design and Data Collection (co-taught with A. Greenleaf)
This course provides students the requisite skills for conducting successful survey research, particularly in a service-based, health promotion context. The course includes introduction to the fundamental concepts and components of survey design, the development of research questions and hypotheses, and guidelines for decision-making regarding various phases of a study. Students will become familiar with the pre-field and data collection activities inherent in survey research; and master the art and science of writing knowledge, attitude, and behavior questions. By the conclusion of the course students will have a full-length, self-designed and pretested questionnaire, and be able to plan and execute a sound research study that involves quantitative data collection.
