and answers 100% correct 2025
what is health? - correct answer a state of complete physical, mental, and
social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity
what is research? - correct answer activities designed to develop or contribute
to generalizable knowledge like theories, principles, relationships that can be
confirmed or refuted by recognized methods of observation, experiment and
inference
what is health research philosophically? - correct answer biological,
behavioural and social science research on all aspects of human health and
disease
what is health research applied? - correct answer process of systematically
investigating a single well defined aspect of physical, mental or social well
being
health research makes the connection between _________ and __________ -
correct answer determinants and health
what is epidemiology? - correct answer study of the distribution and
determinants of health-related states in specific populations, and the
application of this study to control health problems, it focuses more on the
reasons behind a disease
what is biostatistics? - correct answer application of statistics to biological and
medial problems, measures associations, correlation, significance in
epidemiology, toxicology and other public health sciences
,what are determinants of health? - correct answer biological, behavioural,
social, environmental, political and other factors that influence the health
status of individuals and populations
what are the three types of research? - correct answer clinical, population
health and biological
what is clinical research? - correct answer evaluates best ways to prevent,
diagnose, and treat health issues that adversely affect individuals and
families, similar to the focus of medicine in that it focuses on the individual as
unit of investigation
what is population health research? - correct answer focuses on the health
outcomes and the determinants of health in groups of humans/populations,
similar to the focus of public health which is the action part of population
research
what is biological / basic medial research? - correct answer looks at changes
at the human cellular level that can be related to health outcomes, most
methods are lab methods, studies genes, cells, molecules etc. related to
human function
what are the 6 steps of the research process? - correct answer 1) identify
study question
2) generate hypothesis
3) design study and collect data
4) analyze data
5) interpret findings
6) communicate findings
,what is brainstorming? - correct answer process of generating long lists of
spontaneous ideas about possible research questions, do not eliminate ideas
at this stage
what is concept mapping? - correct answer visual listing of ideas and grouping
them to reveal relationships
what is an exposure? - correct answer personal characteristic, behaviour,
environmental encounter or intervention that might change the likelihood of
developing a health condition (a determinant of interest upon which an
outcome depends, can be constitutional, environmental or behavioural)
what is an outcome? - correct answer an observed event, such as the
presence of a disease in observational study or a measured end point in
experiments, for many health projects the outcome studies is disease
what is a population? - correct answer group of individuals, communities or
organizations with identifiable similar characteristics, which may make them
susceptible to an exposure
what does PICOT stand for? - correct answer Population/ Problem
Intervention/exposure
Comparison/Control
Outcome of interest
Time frame for follow up
what makes a good research question? - correct answer a real question,
testable, generalizable and purposeful
, what is generalizability in research? - correct answer information that can be
applicable beyond the study population
what is a study goal? - correct answer the single overarching objective of a
research project or the main question that a research project seeks to answer
what are specific aims? - correct answer carefully described action that will
help the researcher make progress towards achieving the big picture goal
most studies in the health sciences have _________ specific aims - correct
answer 2-4, with an average of 3
what are sequential specific aims? - correct answer chronological list of
actions that will achieve the main goal, each specific aim lays the foundation
for the next one
what are independent specific aims? - correct answer related but independent
objectives, when one is not achieved it will not prevent succesful completion
of the next
good specific aim/objective can be summarized by _________ - correct
answer SMART
what is a theoretical framework? - correct answer set of established models in
the published literature that can inform the components and flows of the
conceptual framework for a new research study
what is the Lalonde model? - correct answer first modern government
document in western society producing the health field concept to look beyond
the biomedical health care system to encourage population health, published
in 1974
