Abstract:
This article explores three research designs common to college health investigations: survey, epidemiologic, and experimental. It identifies the varieties of research questions addressed by these designs and notes examples from clinical nursing/medicine, mental health, and health education topics. In addition, it summarizes the unique challenges encountered in each of these designs, including issues of sample selection, adequate measurement, and control.
