Document Summary

Theories and basic assumptions in science part 1. Identify the major types of quantitative and qualitative research designs and their appropriate application in health research scenarios. Set of interrelated assumptions about the [social] world which provides a philosophical and conceptual framework for the organized study of that world . The key point of what we are discussing is the fact that we are doing health research with people: this makes research a lot more challenging than some of the other sciences. The paradigm selected guides the researcher in philosophical assumptions about the research and in the selection of tools, instruments, participants, and methods used in the study: it provides a guide, a recipe. If the question of interest is related to over prescription. We have presented two different approaches to the same health related issue. However, regardless of the question type the process of developing a research study is rather standard.
