A thesis or dissertation in public health and epidemiology.
Your path
Create the study
Title, purpose, ethics reference and a retention period. The purpose has to be specific enough for a respondent to know what they are agreeing to.
Build the questionnaire
The Studio has an item bank of validated scales you can insert whole, with the reverse-scored items already marked.
Open collection and share the link
Twelve NDPA conditions are checked before the first respondent. Fix what it names and the gate opens.
Analyse
Choose what you want to find out. Assumption checks run whether or not you ask, and the wrong test is refused.
Export the chapter
APA 7 tables and sentences in Word, with the Method section assembled from what the study already recorded.
What people in your field ask
Define the population - sample it - describe with weights - compare groups - map the pattern - report the denominator.
- How common is it, and how confident are we?survey proportion
- Does it differ between districts, sexes or age bands?chi square independence
- Our survey used clusters and weights. Does that change anything?survey mean
- Is the disease clustered in particular places?morans i
- Where exactly are the hot spots?getis ord
Watch for: Comparing rates across sites without checking the denominator means the same thing in both. Most disputes about a rate are disputes about the denominator.
