Document Summary

The most important points in this chapter are the various approaches on the acknowledgement of paradigms, methodologies and methods. The chapter have also stated the knowledge of how health issues are created, how to identify the sources of health and illness, and the delivery of healthcare and health policy. The chapter have discussed in more details about the three primary approaches (positivism, idealism, and realism) on researching and the inquiry for better understanding the study of health, illness, and health care issues. This chapter have mentioned the different quantitative approaches and methods in health studies (epidemiological, social science, political economy and etc. ). I find the various types of research methods and terminologies confusing and complicate to learn and remember.
