3. IntroductionIntroduction
Data Collection is an important aspect of any type of research study.
Inaccurate data collection can impact the results of a study and
ultimately lead to invalid results.
Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and
collecting data.
The purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on
record, to make decisions about important issues, to pass
information on to others.
Primarily, data are collected to provide information regarding a
specific topic.
4. Methods of Data collection
Qualitative
typically involves qualitative data, i.e., data obtained through
methods such interviews, on-site observations, and focus groups
that is in narrative rather than numerical form
Quantitative
–use numerical and statistical processes to answer specific
questions. Statistics are used in a variety of ways to support
inquiry or program assessment/evaluation.
5. – They produce results that are easy to summarize, compare, and
generalize.
– Participants may be randomly assigned to different treatments.
– Collect data on participant and situational characteristics in
order to statistically control for their influence on the dependent,
or outcome, variable.
Quantitative data collection
6. Types of Data collection
Census: A census is a study that obtains data from every member of
a population.
Sample survey. A sample survey is a study that obtains data from a
subset of a population, in order to estimate population attributes.
Experiment. An experiment is a controlled study in which the
researcher attempts to understand cause-and-effect relationships.
Observational study. Like experiments, observational studies
attempt to understand cause-and-effect relationships.
7. The majority of cancers, some 90–95% of cases, are due to genetic
mutations from environmental factors.
Environmental factors that contribute to cancer death include;
Tobacco (25–30%), (Causes 90% of lung cancer & also causes cancer in the larynx, head, neck,
stomach, bladder, kidney, oesophagus and pancreas.)
Diet and obesity (30–35%), (High salt diet cause gastric cancer, Aflatoxin B1 causes liver cancer.)
Infections (15–20%), (viruses, bacteria, and parasite are infectious agents.)
Radiation (both ionizing and non-ionizing, up to 10%),(it include medical
imaging, radon gas & UV light.)
stress, lack of physical activity and pollution.. (prolonged exposure to asbestos, non
fibrous particulate like metallic cobalt, nickel & crystalline silica.)
