Quantitive Data Collation
  1. Study design and research question influences data collation
    1. Records
      1. i.e Health data from existing sources collected on asthma and maternal smoking.
        1. collected using a standardised case reporting form.
          1. Health records (usually hospital) are commonly used in health research.
      2. Case series
        1. data on physiological measures (i.e. related to an organ or body functions) is often collected
        2. Questionnaires
          1. administered by interviewers face to face, or by phone
            1. one study a self-administered questionnaire was used.
              1. most common methods of data collection
        3. physiological data
          1. can be collected from primary sources (i.e. directly by conducting tests on a patient, or developing a questionnaire to extract the data),
            1. secondary sources (i.e. obtaining data from records).
              1. -Xrays, MRI scans, electrocardiograms, respiratory function tests, blood pressure, and many types of laboratory tests (e.g. blood, cholesterol, glucose test).
                1. Videotape observations
                  1. example to obtain data on infant pain during immunisation
                    1. not a commonly used method in quantitative research studies but can be used to great effect if conducted correctly.
                2. Physiological/Clincal data measures
                  1. Health research often focuses on some aspect of a person's health status.
                    1. result the researchers may collect physiological data from a variety of sources.
                      1. i.e new medication which reduces blood pressure.
                        1. measure BP
                    2. not always practical to collect to reasons bc cost or the lack of appropriately trained staff.
                      1. so we need participants to report these variables using a survey.
                        1. survey in which they are asked to report their height and weight so we can then calculate BMI.
