520			_aWhat does 21st century public health research look like? 'Research Methods for Public Health' offers an in-depth introduction to the theories, concepts, approaches and practices, relevant to research methods in a public health setting. Informed by a socio-ecological model of public health, the book uses real world research examples and contemporary social, political and environmental themes of public health that reflect UK and international contexts. The book provides a straightforward approach to developing a research project and applying methods in practical and realistic ways, using an innovative, integrative approach that combines methodologies. The authors have moved away from traditional approaches to research methods, and include chapters on primary quantitative, qualitative and mixed methods research, evidence synthesis approaches, critical appraisal, research governance and ethics, and dissemination. Attending to the importance of health inequalities and social determinants which drive particular crises, the authors outline a 'horizontal' approach for postgraduates training to deliver and improve public health programmes. Practitioners working in aligned public health fields such as environmental health, community development, housing, education and more will also find much relevant material in this comprehensive text
