Summary

• Description:

  RES 106 — Research is a complete, exam-ready guide to the KMTC research module, built in three chapters. The first explains what research is, its purposes and types (basic, applied, quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods), and the main study designs — cross-sectional, cohort, case-control, randomised controlled trials, and qualitative — compared side by side with their strengths and limitations. The second walks through the full research process: identifying and prioritising the problem, framing hypotheses and SMART objectives, the literature review and Vancouver referencing, protocol and instrument development, probability and non-probability sampling, data collection and analysis, and IMRAD report writing. The third chapter teaches basic statistics from the ground up, with formulas and worked examples for demographic rates, the mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation, plus an introduction to inferential statistics, confidence intervals, p-values, and the t-test, ANOVA, and chi-square tests. It includes Garamond formatting, four tables, nine diagram prompts, and Kenyan health examples. It is written for KMTC diploma students sitting research exams and writing their dissertation proposals.
