Research
Conducting research enables you to answer a question(s) for the purposes of generating and sharing information. For example, what are the environmental hazards that a particular community faces? Or what are the social determinants that impact the health of a certain community? Conducting research can help inform your organization’s programs, contribute to policy and legislative action, and promote collaborative action amongst multiple agencies and organizations.
Research can take multiple forms, for example:
- Surveys — to gather information about perceptions and experiences from a group of people (this can be collected anonymously)
- Interviews — to obtain in-depth information and stories from community members
- Comparative effectiveness studies — where participants are randomized to receive one of two (or more) established programs or services to see which is most effective
- Focus groups — to hear from a group of individuals about a topic through dialogue
We can help you:
- Define your research questions
- Design a research study
- Ensure your study receives the necessary ethical and regulatory reviews
- Develop recruitment tools and strategies
- Analyze the data
- Draft reports and articles
