Subject Description This is a compulsory subject in the Master of Public Health. Qualitative research plays an important role in public health as it can explain how people experience a particular health issue or why they perform a health-related behavior, taking into account specific social, political and economic contexts. Public health practitioners need to be able to undertake and interpret a range of published research (including qualitative research) in order to gather evidence for practice, identify gaps in evidence and evaluate current practice. |

Interesting subject but found that tutorials were not very helpful in applying subject content to the assignments fully.
Loved it. Great tutors too
Quite dry but necessary content. Touches briefly across a range of research modes and processes but ultimately quite introductory. The assignments really help to tie in what you've learnt and the coordinators are very active with supporting students. @leaf_ey
