GCH 166: Health & Comm Research

University of California, Santa Cruz

Students engage topics in health research, including ethics and research design. They learn to describe, identify, and evaluate an array of data collection methods used in global health research including randomized control trials (RCTs), interviews, focus groups, and surveys. By engaging with qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method approaches, students understand, discuss, and use a wide array of methodologies and evaluate “fit” between selected methods and research questions.
