Defining Research
• Investigation – Exploration – Search – Study – Inquiry
• A search for knowledge
How Has Health Research Impacted Our Lives?
• Polio
• Rubella
• Smallpox
• Influenza
• Hypertension
• Cardiac arrhythmia
• Hyperglycaemia/Diabetes
• Safe food handling
• Safe community water supply
Simple Research Application = Profound Health Effects
• Health Issue: Contaminated water is the only source for up to 50% of people living in the
developing world
• Research Finding: Many pathogenic microorganisms are killed by heat and exposure to
UV radiation
• Application: Solar decontamination – Fill plastic bottles with contaminated water; place
on corrugated metal roofs with sun exposure; wait 6-8 hours (sunny conditions) before
consuming
Goal of Health Research
• Create connections between
o Exposure and Disease
o Disease and Outcome
o Treatment and Alteration of Disease Course
We Answer These Questions to Accomplish Excellent Health Research?
• What methods do we use to execute credible and valid health research?
• How do we analyse health research results?
• How do we evaluate the quality of health research?
• How will our research be used?
• What language/professional terminology do we need to be able to communicate with
other Investigators?
