Researching Health Needs
de Judy Payne
"Researching Health Needs is an easy to use introductory guide to the main social research techniques used to gather evidence about the health needs of local communities." "The reader is taken through the process of producing evidence; from the initial planning stages of research to writing up, getting the message across, and trying to influence policy and practice. All of the methods are described in a simple and, as far as possible, non-technical way, and are extensively illustrated with concrete examples from existing studies." "The book is an essential text for undergraduate and postgraduate students in health, community work, and social care. It is also an invaluable tool for practising professionals in these fields."--Jacket.
