At a time when evidence-based practice is the standard bearer for
understanding health behaviour, problems and interventions,
ensuring that researchers know the appropriate designs and methods
for their research is more paramount than ever. Health Intervention
Research will equip those doing research in these communities with
the knowledge and tools they need to inform their methodological
decisions when planning and conducting studies. This book describes
both commonly used (e.g., randomized clinical trials) and advanced
(e.g. preference trials, pragmatic trials) designs and methods for
health intervention research. It outlines the theoretical reasoning
underlying these different approaches, and synthesizes the evidence
which supports or disputes different designs and methods. To
achieve its aims, the book is divided into three main sections. The
first section points to the need to base methodological decisions
on evidence and highlights the importance of carefully selecting
research designs and methods to maintain validity. The second
section focuses on designs to determine the effects of intervention
on outcomes, outlining their features and discussing how these can
be used to evaluate interventions. The last section covers methods
used in conducting intervention evaluation research. For each
design and method, the following is covered: what it is, what the
logic underlying it is, what the evidence supporting its
effectiveness is, and also includes its advantages, its
limitations, and how can it be implemented. This will be key
reading for postgraduates and novice researchers in health and
clinical psychology, health sciences and nursing.
