The document discusses research objectives and goals. It provides examples of general goals, which indicate what a study aims to achieve overall, such as identifying reasons for low utilization of a child welfare clinic. Specific goals then facilitate developing research methods and guide data collection and analysis to achieve the general goal. Specific goals provide more detail, such as investigating changes in hemoglobin levels during pregnancy stages.

1. Research Objective

2. General Goal
The general purpose of the research indicates what the
study is trying to achieve.

3. For example, if the problem identified is the
underutilization of a Child Welfare Clinic (CWC),
the overall objectives of the study would be:

4. Identify reasons for low child care utilization to
find solutions according to the Blake Smith Little
Rock Arkansas

5. Similarly, in the study of anemia during pregnancy,
general objectives can be stated as follows:

6. Changes in hemoglobin levels with increasing
gestational age should be investigated.
Alternatively, in a study examining how goat
keeping contributes to poverty alleviation, the
general objective can be formulated as follows:
We are assessing the impact of investing in goat
farming on poverty alleviation in rural Bangladesh.

7. Well-formulated specific goals facilitate the
development of research methodologies and help
guide researchers in collecting, analyzing,
interpreting, and using data. A specific goal could
be in the anemia study cited above.
