Research Design Innovations in Public Health, Nutrition, and Dietetics

Abstract

An appropriate research design is crucial for achieving successful study outcomes and generating accurate and unbiased insights. This design should be defined by neutrality, reliability, validity, and the absence of bias. The presence of bias in research might lead to ambiguity, which is undesirable. It is crucial for the communication on the research to be clear, succinct, and easily comprehensible, as well as accessible to readers. This article provides a review of the nature and importance of research design in scientific research over the past three decades. It aims to assess the impact of research conducted during this period on the ability to create and carry out effective and innovative research in the fields of Public Health, Nutrition, and Dietetics. Numerous research designs have previously been extensively documented and are being employed by various researchers in diverse experimental settings. These designs seem to adapt based on the current difficulties that need to be examined. Hence, novel obstacles necessitate fresh inquiries, and these inquiries require innovative methodologies to obtain solutions. Furthermore, each novel methodology necessitates a new framework. The following are the essential advancements and actualities required to confront upcoming issues in the coming decades.
