Information:

There are dozens of components to conducting field research that most of us never learn about in class.  This webinar will take you through all the essential steps in field research-from what you should you do prior to, during, and after your research, as well as how you can save time and avoid delays in your project.

In this 90-minute program including Q&A, you will broaden and deepen your knowledge of the field research process while you learn how to:

• Design and implement a research project that can lead to publication
• Identify types of assessment measures available for a given study
• Recruit participants...and retain them
• Address unexpected occurrences
• Refine your tactics prior to data collection
• Build on your success through post-research activities

This practical program will cover dozens of nitty gritty details not covered in the typical general overview you may have had before:

• Working with a budget
• Confidentiality; storing and encryption of data
• Using the information technology systems in place
• Getting the right cohort
• IRB approval
• The  pros and cons of different tools

And much more.
