Title: Study design in research
Abstract:
Selecting a study design is one of the preliminary stages in the setting up of a research project. The two core categories of study designs that now exist are observational and interventional. The most straightforward design among all the observational study designs is the descriptive one. It enables the investigation and categorization of the allocation of one or more variables by the researcher, autonomous of any underlying theories or other assumptions. The subtypes of descriptive study design are covered in this presentation along with their advantages and disadvantages.
