Surveys02:16

Surveys

14.7K
Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

11.9K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Archival Research01:40

Archival Research

16.0K
Some researchers gain access to large amounts of data without interacting with a single research participant. Instead, they use existing records to answer various research questions. This type of research approach is known as archival research. Archival research relies on looking at past records or data sets to look for interesting patterns or relationships. For example, a researcher might access the academic records of all individuals who enrolled in college within the past ten years and...

Data Collection by Observations01:08

Data Collection by Observations

11.9K
Data collection refers to a systematic way of obtaining, observing, measuring, and analyzing accurate information. Observational studies are one of the most widely used methods of data collection. It involves collecting data by observing the behavior and physical characteristics of a sample without making any modifications to the sample.
An astronomer viewing the motion and brightness of stars in the sky and recording the data is an example of observational data collection. A botanist recording...

Cross-Sectional Research01:50

Cross-Sectional Research

11.3K
In cross-sectional research, a researcher compares multiple segments of the population at the same time. If they were interested in people's dietary habits, the researcher might directly compare different groups of people by age. Instead of following a group of people for 20 years to see how their dietary habits changed from decade to decade, the researcher would study a group of 20-year-old individuals and compare them to a group of 30-year-old individuals and a group of 40-year-old...

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Health Disparities
  • Immigrant Health

Background:

  • African immigrant population is rapidly growing in the US.
  • High prevalence of preventable chronic conditions observed in this group.
  • Mistrust in healthcare systems hinders prevention and intervention research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Describe experiences from two health studies in an African immigrant community.
  • Discuss lessons learned for conducting research with this population.
  • Provide guidance for researchers targeting similar communities.

Main Methods:

  • Conducted a cross-sectional and a qualitative focus group study.
  • Recruited Zimbabwean immigrants in the Eastern US at community events.
  • Total enrollment of 135 participants across both studies.

Main Results:

  • Initial study failed to meet recruitment goals (98/120).
  • Partnering with a community advisory board (CAB) led to meeting goals within 4 months.
  • CAB partnership increased male participation (38% vs 24%) and completion rates (93% vs 28%).

Conclusions:

  • Strategic community partnerships are essential for health research in immigrant populations.
  • Building strong relationships with the community enhances access to hard-to-reach groups.
  • Effective collaboration leads to higher participation rates in health studies.
