Quantitative Research Methods III

Catalog description

This course focuses on advanced designs and multivariate statistical techniques with an emphasis on the design for the dissertation. For example, topics will include advanced issues in external validity, field experimentation versus laboratory experiments, quasi-experimental and blended designs as well as special considerations for nested and complex longitudinal designs. Related statistical topics may also include advanced multiple linear regression methods (e.g. path and structural equation modeling), log-linear models and advanced techniques in survival and longitudinal data analysis of interest. Primary health care, cultural competence, and evidence-based practice will be assessed using these techniques.
