Research Design for Health Policy Studies
This topic covers essential research design and methodological considerations for conducting health policy analysis. You will explore the use of case studies (single and comparative), address temporal challenges in policy research, and examine the impact of researcher positionality and reflexivity. For Zambian tertiary students in public health and research programs, this knowledge is crucial for producing rigorous, ethical, and context-sensitive evidence. It enables you to design studies that inform policy decisions within Zambia's health system, preparing you for roles in health systems research, monitoring and evaluation, and evidence-informed policy making.
