  • Events
  • Periods
    • Study phases
    • Protocol phases
  • Sequence of events
  • Study designs
    • Descriptive research – research in which the investigator attempts to describe a group of individuals based on a set of variable in order to document their characteristics
      • Case study – description of one or more patients
      • Developmental research – description of pattern of change over time
      • Normative research – establishing normal values
      • Qualitative research – gathering data through interview or observation
      • Evaluation research – objectively assess a program or policy by describing the needs for the services or policy, often using surveys or questionaires
    • Exploratory research
      • Cohort or case-control studies – establish associations through epidemiological studies
      • Methodological studies – establish reliability and validity of a new method
      • Secondary analysis – exploring new relationships in old data
      • Historical research – reconstructing the past through an assessment of archives or other records
    • Experimental research
      • Randomized clinical trial – controlled comparison of an experimental intervention allowing the assessment of the causes of outcomes
        • Single-subject design
        • Sequential clinical trial
        • Evaluation research – assessment of the success of a program or policy
      • Quasi-experimental research
      • Meta-analysis – statistically combining findings from several different studies to obtain a summary analysis
