specific set of methods to test the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic interventions under prevailing primary care conditions, including qualitative approaches, longitudinal studies and intervention studies (adapted from Kruschinski et al. EGPRN 2010)ensemble spécifique de méthodes pour tester l'efficacité des interventions diagnostiques et thérapeutiques dans des conditions de soins primaires, y compris des approches qualitatives, des études longitudinales et des études d'intervention (adapté de Kruschinski et al. EGPRN 2010)Q-Code conceptual content
EXPERIMENT a controlled study where the investigator changes one or more conditions and records the effect. (Woncadic) FEASIBILITY STUDY a preliminary study performed to determine the practicability of a larger study or health program. (Woncadic) BLIND(ED) STUDY a study or experiment in which the observers and/or subjects do not know if the subjects belong to an intervention group or a control group. In a single blind study only the experimenter knows the allocation. In a double blind study the allocation is not known either to the observer or the subject. If the analyst does not know the allocation the study is triple blinded. Blinding is made to avoid bias. (Woncadic)Clinical Studies as Topic ; Works about research studies that evaluate interventions or exposures on biomedical or health-related outcomes. The two main types of clinical studies are interventional studies (clinical trials) and observational studies. (MeSH2016)EXPERIMENTAL STUDY a study where all the conditions can be controlled by the investigator. In general practice it often refers to a study where certain environmental factors are changed, and the effect on the patients is measured. (Woncadic) Interdisciplinary Research ; Research combining mastery in distinct fields or disciplines that apply and exchange tools, concepts, ideas, data methods, or results around a common project.(MeSH 2018)MATCHING in research the deliberate process of making a study group and comparison group comparable with respect to factors that are extraneous to the purpose of the investigation, but that might interfere with the interpretation of the findings of the study (e.g. in case control studies, individual cases might be matched or paired with a specific control on the basis of comparable age, gender, clinical features, or a combination). (Woncadic)METHOD ; In research, the way a research project is performed and procedures defined, described as accurately as possible. (Woncadic)METHOD . 2. In research, the way a research project is performed and procedures defined, described as accurately as possible. (Woncadic)NON-EXPERIMENTAL STUDY a study of phenomena using non-intervention. The influence of one or more variables is measured on outcome variable(s) as they naturally occur. (Woncadic) NON-PARTICIPANTS, NON-RESPONDERS members of a population or a study group who do not take part in an activity or study designed to include them. (Woncadic)Patient Selection Criteria and standards used for the determination of the appropriateness of the inclusion of patients with specific conditions in proposed treatment plans and the criteria used for the inclusion of subjects in various clinical trials and other research protocols.(MeSH)PILOT STUDY a small study or project, usually of a convenience sample, to test preliminary measurement decisions and identify unanticipated problems in applying a special method in a study. (Woncadic)Proof of Concept Study; An empirical investigation which pertains to the development of prototypes or models that demonstrate the feasibility of novel concepts, ideas, principles, schema or their practical application. (MeSH 2018)PURPOSEFUL SAMPLING (Syn. strategic sampling, theoretical sampling) a strategy intended to increase the validity of qualitative research studies by deliberately selecting pre-established groups in the population for study. Does not claim statistical representation or allow for generalizations. (Woncadic)Questionable research practices (QRPs): research practices that are regarded by many as unethical but are not considered to be research misconduct. Duplicate publication and Honorary authorship are considered by many to be QRPs (RIES)Research Design ; A plan for collecting and utilizing data so that desired information can be obtained with sufficient precision or so that an hypothesis can be tested properly.(MeSH)RESEARCH DESIGN the format, including aims and methods, of a planned research (Woncadic)STANDARDIZATION recalculation or weighting of data to correct for unequal distributions between groups or classes like age or gender. Can be performed in two different ways: 1. Direct method: The specific rates in a study population are averaged, using as weights the distribution of a specific standard population. The direct standardized rate represents what the crude rate would have been in the study population if they had been equally distributed with regard to the variable for which the population is standardized. 2. Indirect method: This is used to compare populations where the specific rates are unknown or unstable. The specific rates in the standard population are averaged, using as weights the distribution of the study population. (Woncadic)SURVEY ; observational or descriptive, non-experimental study in which individuals are systematically examined for the absence or presence (or degree of presence) of characteristics of interest. (Woncadic)VALIDITY STUDY the degree to which the inference drawn from a study, especially generalizations extending beyond the study sample, are warranted when account is taken of the study methods, the representativeness of the study sample, and the nature of the population from which it is drawn.
