CHEP 835

This course considers mixed-methods in the context of health systems research. Health system research (HSR) can include hospital, clinic, community-based and population-level studies that help inform improvements in healthcare processes or explain why health outcomes or disparities occur. The goal is for students to acquire knowledge of the broad theoretical underpinnings of mixed-methods research and then apply this understanding to data sources, study designs and analyses. This course will provide students the skills to plan, collect, analyze and integrate different types of data to engage in descriptive, evaluative, quality-improvement, and implementation-science HSR.
