Design Study

Designing a clinical research study is one of the first steps to conducting clinical resarch. Designing a study properly ensures that the study addresses specific research questions and objectives in a scientifically sound, ethical, and efficient manner. It encompasses choosing the study type, identifying a funding source, planning and organizing regulatory documents, defining participant criteria, determining the sample size, outlining procedures for intervention and data collection, and establishing methods for data analysis. Effective study design is critical for generating reliable, generalizable, and interpretable data that can inform medical decisions and healthcare policies.
