Content
The module will begin by reviewing issues in mixed methods research. Research that aims to change practice requires new methodologies to enable the participation and needs and experiences of the public to be taken into account. This module will introduce mixed methods research and the combining of qualitative and quantitative designs in order to produce research that is likely to drive changes in practice. It also addresses issues surrounding Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in research and provides an opportunity to think about good practice in PPI and how it might be achieved using a variety of study designs. The module will explore the concepts of health economics and health evaluation in relation to efficiency and effectiveness of clinical interventions.
