An overview of health intervention research -- Validity in intervention research -- Phases of intervention evaluation research -- Experimental designs or randomized controlled trials : characteristic features -- Experimental designs or randomized controlled trials : limitations -- Advances in intervention evaluation designs : extensions of experimental designs -- Advances in intervention evaluation designs : pragmatic and preference trials -- Selection of participants -- Retention of participants -- Assignment of participant to study groups -- Implementation of the intervention -- Principles of outcome measurement and analysis. At a time when evidence-based practice is the standard bearer for understanding health behaviour, problems and interventions, ensuring that researchers know the appropriate designs and methods for their research is more paramount than ever. Health Intervention Research will equip those doing research in these communities with the knowledge and tools they need to inform their methodological decisions when planning and conducting studies. This book describes both commonly used (e.g., randomized clinical trials) and advanced (e.g. preference trials, pragmatic trials) designs and methods for health intervention research. It outlines the theoretical reasoning underlying these different approaches, and synthesizes the evidence which supports or disputes different designs and methods. To achieve its aims, the book is divided into three main sections. The first section points to the ... Description based on MARC record for print version.
