Protocol development and health examination survey

Survey methods, including health examination surveys.

• To provide students with a theoretical framework (methodology) and tools (methods)
• To develop their skills in choosing research methods
• To develop an integrated approach to other learning activities (qualitative and quantitative methods)
• To master the basic techniques of the hypothetical-deductive approach
• To develop different techniques for the elaboration of a research work
• To apply ethical rules to research protocol
• To develop quality process in carrying out data collection, including health examination surveys.

On site and via Teams platform: state of the art courses, practical applications (questionnaire development, consent form writing, sampling plan…).

Construction de la note (en ce compris, la pondération des notes partielles)

Intermediate in-group works for Health examination surveys: 15/100 points.

Protocol: written report (85/100 points).

When the unit is not validated at the first session (<10/20), points coming from intermediate in-group works will be reported at the 2nd session (15/100). Some parts of the protocol (written report) on another topic will be asked to retake at the second session and marked on 85/100 points.
