The research methodology workshop is a three day short course, organized by Public Health Foundation of India – Bengaluru Campus.

 Objectives

Health care providers in India are closer to the problems and may hold the key to feasible solution, however many are handicapped by the lack of essential skills, access to information, and opportunities to carry out high quality research. This course aims to introduce basic scientific principles and research methods, and equip the participants with basic skills of designing and implementing research studies.

 How This Will Be Achieved

The course is structured in two parts. In the first part, interactive lectures will be delivered on below mentioned topics, and each didactic lecture will be complemented by group work activity. Participants in groups will critically appraise the published studies from India with the help of guided questions from the tutors. Practicals will test the participants’ theoretical understanding of cause and effect principles and the concept of bias, chance, confounder, and reverse causation. In the second part of the course, case studies from India will be presented and participants will be requested to design a research protocol for investigating the problem. Besides, all participants will be allowed to present their research protocol and tutors will give their comments for improvement. (Note: Presentation template will be given in advance and maximum time for each presentation is 7 mins and 3 mints discussion).
