Descriptive Research
Descriptive
research
is a study designed to depict the participants in an accurate
way. More simply put, descriptive analysis is all about
describing people who take part in the survey.
There are three ways a researcher can go about doing a
descriptive research project, and they are:
Observational, defined as a method of viewing and recording
the participants
Case study, defined as an in-depth study of an individual or
group of individuals
Survey, defined as a brief interview or discussion with an
individual about a specific topic

Mixed Methods Research
Mixed
methods
research
(Extracted from the article below) is the use of quantitative and
qualitative methods in a single study or series of studies. It is a
new methodology that is increasingly used by health
researchers, especially within health services research. There is
a growing literature on the theory, design, and critical appraisal
of mixed methods research. However, few papers summarize
this methodological approach for health practitioners who wish
to conduct or critically engage with mixed methods studies.

Meta-Analysis
Meta
-
analysis
is a statistical technique for combining data from multiple
studies on a particular topic. A Meta-analysis is an analytical
tool for estimating the mean and variance of underlying
population effects from a collection of empirical studies
addressing ostensibly the same research question. Meta‐analysis
has become an increasingly popular and valuable tool in
psychological research, and significant review articles typically
employ these methods.

Epidemiology
According to the Centers for Disease Control,
Epidemiology
is the method used to find the causes of health outcomes and
diseases in populations. In epidemiology, the patient is the
community and individuals are viewed collectively. By
definition, epidemiology is the study (scientific, systematic, and
data-driven) of the distribution (frequency, pattern) and
determinants (causes, risk factors) of health-related states and
events (not just diseases) in specified populations
(neighborhood, school, city, state, country, global).

Longitudinal Studies
Longitudinal Study, an epidemiologic study that follows a
population forward over time, evaluating the effects of one or
more variables on a process. If individuals are followed, it is
termed a longitudinal cohort study. If classes—e.g., age
classes—are studied, it is a longitudinal cross-sectional study.
Longitudinal studies are the converse (opposite) of horizontal
(parallel) studies.
