This document discusses what science is and is not. It begins by stating that science attempts to disprove ideas rather than prove them, and is concerned with understanding the natural world through observation and experimentation. It notes several misconceptions, such as the idea that science can prove anything or that there is a linear progression from hypothesis to theory to law. Good science minimizes bias through random sampling, appropriate measurement techniques, and independent verification. It emphasizes that science provides the most reliable knowledge about the natural world but does not claim certainty, only degrees of probability. Overall, the document provides a concise overview of the scientific process and addresses common misconceptions about the limitations and objectives of science.

Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.
4. Research - the systematic collection, description, analysis, and
interpretation of data to answer a certain question or solve a
problem.
Health research – the process for systematic collection,
description, analysis, and interpretation of data that can be
used to improve the health of individuals or groups.
5. The research process changes “information” into
“knowledge”, through critical assessment and relating it
to other existing human knowledge.
6. The health gains in the last century >>>>>> unprecedented.
Advances made in health research account for a significant
part of these health gains. New scientific frontiers, now
opening up, promise to transform medical practice in ways
never imagined before, and to contribute to further
improvements in health.
7. Health research is not only about the development of new
tools and advancing our understanding of health and disease.
Health research is important to inform policy and decision-
making in health systems.
8. Health research is not a luxury, to be conducted only by
countries with the resources to spare.
When India gained independence, the country faced the
problem of how to allocate its scarce resources to areas of
most need.
Jawahar Lal Nehru, in this context, made the following
statement: “Because we are a poor country, we cannot
afford not to do research”.
9. The participation and contribution of developing countries in
scientific research has been well expressed by the Pakistani Nobel
Laureate Abdul Salam, as follows:
“Science and technology are a shared heritage of all mankind; East
and West, South and North have all equally participated in their
creation in the past, as, we hope, they will in the future—the joint
endeavor in science becoming one of the unifying forces among the
diverse people on the globe.” (Salam, 1989.)
10. • Health research may be pursued as a career in a public or
private research organization.
• Research may be done in pursuit of prestige or under the
pressure of the threat of “publish or perish” when
climbing the ladder of a successful academic career.
11. A strong argument:
• All health professionals should do some research, or at least get
enough knowledge about the research process, even if they wish to
spend the rest of their lives dealing with patients or health
administration.
Do you agree??????????????????????
12. A scientific approach is essential for health professionals.
As the practice of medicine is advancing rapidly, the need
for critical evaluation of new developments becomes
more urgent.
The medical past is littered with examples of possible
major advances eventually being shown to be of no value,
or even to be harmful. Research helps to develop a
scientific critical attitude.
13. A clinician will find that the faculties developed by doing
research are those most needed in clinical diagnosis.
Health policy-makers, particularly in developing countries,
may not appreciate the contribution which research can
make.
14. • A divide between the universe of research and the
universe of policy-making.
• The stereotype of the researcher in her or his ivory
tower still prevails.
15. •Health managers and policy-makers may be doing
research without knowing it.
Why do you think this is so?
16. • A need to demystify the scientific process.
• Scientific inquiry is basically a potentiation of common
sense, which is probably one of the most equitably
distributed human gifts.
17. • Einstein said, “The whole of science is nothing more than a
refinement of everyday thinking.”
• In a sense, most of us may be conducting some research in our
daily life.
Can you give some general examples ???
18. • When we, for example, want to buy a car in a proper way, we
collect information about models and dealers, analyse it, then try
to reach a “scientific” conclusion on which car to buy. The use of
complex instrumentation is not a necessary requirement for good
research.
• Key attributes of good research are proper planning, accuracy in
data collection and proper unbiased interpretation.
19. The research process:
- Selecting a field and topic for research,
- Planning the research
- Writing up the plan as a research protocol
- Submitting it as a research proposal for funding (where appropriate)
- Implementation of the research project
- Describing and analyzing the research results.
- Objectively interpreting the results.
- Communicating to those who may benefit from it.
(scientific paper, and/or making a scientific presentation)
20. The research process also involves assessing and evaluating research
done by others.
Throughout the research process, and particularly where the research
involves human subjects, rules of ethical conduct must be carefully
observed.
22. Which is the right way?
What would your mother tell you to do?
23. • Ethics are principles of right conduct.
• Generally no disagreements on the ethical principles in
themselves, since they represent basic human values.
• There can, however, be differences on how they are
interpreted and implemented in specific cases.
24. Basic principles include beneficence, non-maleficence, respect, and
justice.
Where research involves experimentation on human subjects, every
effort should be made to maximize the benefits to the subjects
(beneficence), and the subjects should suffer no harm (non-
maleficence).
25. The principle of respect –
Participation in the research should be completely voluntary
and based on informed consent. Where research involves
collection of data on individuals, privacy should be protected
by ensuring confidentiality. Respect to the community
means respecting its values and having its approval for the
research.
26. The principle of justice (distributive justice) –
Participation in the research should correlate with expected
benefits. No population group should carry an undue
burden of research for the benefit of another group.
