Learning outcome 1: Integrate and apply their knowledge and skills in public health
Learning outcome 2: Apply research skills to a public health issue
Learning outcome 3: Analyse the results of data collected from research, taking into consideration prior evidence and theory
Learning outcome 4: Understand the ethical implications for conducting a piece of public health research
Learning outcome 6: Create a final research report

Context:
This assessment advanced skills in reporting the justification, methods, results, and conclusions of a research project. Key understanding contained includes how to justify a research project using literature, how to implement a research proposal to collect and analyse data, how to report the results of the analysis of data, how to contextualise one's own research in the context of the wider body of literature, and how to draw conclusions about future research and recommendations based on research. This prepares students for the conduct and reporting of research, which is an important skill set for public health practitioners.
