- 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
- Randomized clinical trial – controlled comparison of an experimental intervention allowing the assessment of the causes of outcomes
- 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
