HST5168 Public Health Research Proposal
SCHOOL OF EXERCISE AND HEALTH SCIENCES
Credit Points: 20
 
Description:

In this unit students will prepare a formal proposal and an ethics submission for an applied/pure research study in the area of public health.

The unit serves a dual purpose:

  • Students can study it as a stand-alone unit, without the intention of proceeding to undertake an actual public health research project. In this case, the purpose of the unit is to enhance the student’s appreciation of the research process.
  • The unit can form part of a three-unit public health research project, with students proceeding to undertake the project and prepare a formal report as the requirements for units HST5169 and HST5170.

The proposal and ethics submission will be suitable for consideration by the ECU Faculty of Computing, Health and Science’s Research and Higher Degrees Committee.
