MFT 562 - Research Design and Methods


2 credits
The goal of this 2 unit course is to acquaint the beginning research student with a variety of research paradigms and methods, both qualitative and quantitative, useful in pursuing clinically relevant and competent research in the human sciences, within the multicultural and diverse sociopolitical context of our society. A variety of such methods will be studied, explored and tried in simulated research tasks, with a focus on the particular needs of the mental health research/practitioner. Basic skills in reading, understanding and assessing research literature will also be developed.
