PSME 403 Research Methods and Project
Convenor
EligibilityThis paper is recommended as the research methods option for MHealSc or PGDipHealSc for any student studying via the Department of Psychological Medicine / National Addiction Centre, Christchurch campus. It is also available to other postgraduate students, and can be taken as a one-off paper. ContentPSME 403 introduces the principles of research design and methodology with particular reference to research relating to the broad area of mental health. One main focus is to give students the skills to critically evaluate studies so that they can make sound judgments about them. This in turn can inform good clinical practice. The other main focus is to learn how to design research studies in order to answer clinical questions, including evaluation and auditing of programmes. For this reason, one part of this paper will be the completion of a research proposal, which will normally be of relevance to the student’s clinical work. Teaching ArrangementsThe course will be taught via four 2-day compulsory block courses in Christchurch. For dates contact Lois Surgenor: lois.surgenor@otago.ac.nz Assessment
