Research study design

It is an endeavor to see the reality through the prism of an average person. Researcher designs the study to get the
objectives of research findings for which it requires contextual questionnaire preparation. It depends on availability
of the subjects and location of resources. Subjects are chosen from a certain group of populations and from them, the
outcome is measured. For every research study, usually a specific design is followed and categorized broadly into
descriptive and analytic. Descriptive in turn is further categorized as survey and qualitative. Whereas, experimental
and observational are two categories encompassed in analytic. Experimental study design requires randomized
parallel group and crossover, the tools of it. Observational analytic method uses the tools of cohort study, cross-
sectional and case-control study. This is in brief how study design is carried in a research activity.
In a study design, the sampling of the population is the foremost thing to get the answer because its quite
difficult to manage and get answers from the entire group. Hence the research study requires defining the population
and as per the need and sampling them. Once the population is sampled, then the onus is to collect data by using the
appropriate research method through questionnaire or observation or interview. Therefore, the researcher must
decide in advance, what study design is appropriate for a particular research. If the descriptive study design is
used, it indicates the factors of prevalence, incidence, and experience in a population.
In the case of analytic design, the researcher has resort to the tools of intervention or exposure and the
outcome. Manipulation of exposure happens in experimental design; in case of observational, the exposure is
measured by the researcher. So, overall the study design revolves around: the aim of the study, descriptive or
analytic, if it is analytic, then it must specify the intervention is allocated in right perspective or not, finally the
determination of outcomes. Each study design has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the use of the right one
in research is the need of hour. If you too are embarking on the mission of a research and dont know to tread in,
then the help of expert if sought for would usher in the path of research.
The purpose of research is to get the anticipated findings. Therefore, the requisite is to choose a method to
experiment or research. For instance, consider the case of research study in scientific discipline. Here the concerned
researcher resorts to observation in order to comprehend a phenomenon. Answering the research problem requires
employing either quantitative method or qualitative method or both. In this respect, there exist various designs
which could be applicable in the research study. Those are:
Descriptive designs
Correlational studies
Semi-experimental designs
Experimental designs
Reviewing other research
Test study before conducting a full-scale study.
This is how the research study is designed, but from the aspirants point of view, it might be an obstacle. Hence, it
