Abstract
This is the second volume of a five-volume Health Systems Research (HSR) Training Series which has been compiled by a Technical Working Group supported by IDRC and WHO. Each volume is directed toward a particular target group and each addresses specific aspects of the HSR process. Volume 2, in modular format, is the pivotal one which deals step-by-step with the development of an HSR proposal and field testing (Part 1), and with data analysis and report writing (Part II). Course participants will select, preferably in advance of the course, priority health problems particular to their own situations that cannot be solved unless more information is collected. In most cases, a team of course participants will then carry out the planned research alongside their regular duties. A second workshop is then scheduled to provide information on data analysis, report writing, and utilization of results. This volume will be of interest to all target groups and especially to those health-care managers and researchers who wish to conduct HSR projects. The other volumes in the series are: volume 1, which focuses on the need to promote the use of HSR as management tool and reviews strategies for promoting HSR among policymakers and senior managers; volume 3, a review of strategies that can assist universities or research institutes to initiate and implement multidisciplinary HSR programs; volume 4, a course outline in modular format designed to provide research managers with the skills for managing a program of HSR; volume 5, a course outline in modular format, designed to assist those whose primary responsibility is organizing and conducting training courses for the relevant target groups. The series is designed to support a program of essential national health research. Users are encouraged to critically examine the materials and to choose or adapt them to their particular needs.
