question
Observational research
answer
What kind of research is it when consumers are either observed by another individual or through a mechanical device such as a camera?
question
When factors are manipulated to determine a causal relationship. The advantage of experimental research measure the actual effects of one variable.
answer
What is an experiment?
question
Quasi-experimental design...in which the data gathering is set up similar to a laboratory experiment but the researcher does not have control over all variables. A common example of this is a test market.
answer

question
Telephone interviews, personal interviews, focus group
answer
Survey research is a third common method for acquiring primary data and can be conducted in what four ways
question
A census
answer
What is it called when data is collected from all members of the target population
question
Define the population, specify the sampling frame (representing sample population), specifying the sampling unit (contains the elements of the population to be sampled), selection of the sampling method, determine the sample size and specify a sampling plan (which involves specifying how to implement the sampling choices made in the previous five steps).
answer
What are the six steps of the sampling process?
question
Probability versus non-probability, single unit versus cluster of units, stratified verses unstratified, equal unit versus probability, single stage versus multistage
answer
Any sampling method is dependent on five choices...
question
Probability sampling. The advantage is that an object is a measure of the samples reliability can be made.
answer
What kind of sampling is it in which the sampling units are selected by chance?
question
Simple random sampling is a process that requires that each units chance of being chosen is known and equal. systematic sampling is similar to the simple random sampling process(example every 20th patient)
answer

question
A non probability sample.
answer
What kind of sample is one in which the chance selection procedures are not used?
question
A quota sample. In this the characteristics are believed to relate to a representative sample of the population identified.

question
A one stage cluster sample

question
When a sample of element s is selected from within each subset.
answer
What is a two-stage cluster sample?
question
Cluster sampling usually cost less per sampling unit but the sampling error will be greater the cluster sample than with a single unit sample.
answer
What is the determining factor between which sampling is used (cluster or single unit)?
question
A probability sample that involves dividing the population to mutually exclusive and exhausted and then randomly sampling elements from each group. Stratified sample is a common approach in healthcare research.
answer
What is the stratified sample?
question
The population is not divided into substance. This is similar to cluster sampling.
answer
What is an un-stratified sample?
question
If there is a perfect sampling frame that list each unit of the population from which the sample is to be drawn. Without a perfect sampling frame a multistage process is often required.
answer
