The health sciences include public health, primary care, health psychology, psychiatry and epidemiology. The research methods and data analysis skills required across the health sciences, however, are often very similar. The ability to both appraise and conduct research is emphasised within the health sciences – students are expected increasingly to do both.

Introduction to Research Methods and Data Analysis in the Health Sciences presents a balanced blend of quantitative research methods, and the most widely used techniques for collecting and analysing data in the health sciences. Highly practical in nature, the book guides you, step by step, through the research process, and covers both the consumption and the production of research and data analysis.

This dedicated companion website offers R programming code datasets and self-assessment material linked to the book's exercises and activities.
