The introductory articles define the contexts for researching health, describe competing paradigms and show how to conduct an appropriate literature review. Articles on qualitative methods cover documents, unstructured interviews, observation focus groups and action research, while those on quantitative methods describe using sampling, surveys, statistics, randomized controlled trials, experimental methods and economics. Other articles comment on ethics, multidisciplinary research, research of alternative medicine, working with ethnic minority groups, involving consumers and conducting comparative health research. The final chapter covers writing up research and getting it published."
