Succeeding in Research: Developing Your Conceptual Model. Year Developed: 2020. Source: Maternal and Child Health Bureau. Presenter(s): Alan Mendelsohn, MD. Type: Webinar Archive. Level: Introductory Intermediate. Length: 60 minutes.
Annotation: Improvement in Maternal and Child Health (MCH) depends largely on successful clinical and non-clinical research. Success in clinical research conducted by developmental-behavioral pediatricians and other MCH professionals can be enhanced through the application of theory and utilization of conceptual models to guide study design.
Learning Objectives: • Gain expertise in developing conceptual models based on theory, evidence and clinical experience; • Utilize conceptual models as a foundation for formulation of testable hypotheses; and • Apply conceptual models to study design.
Getting Better All the Time: Considerations and Approaches for LSR Searching. Year Developed: 2018. Source: Cochrane Project Transform. Presenter(s): Robin Featherstone, Steve McDonald. Type: n.a.. Level: Intermediate. Length: 57 minutes. Slides
Annotation: This webinar describes the living systematic review (LSR) approach to maintaining the currency of systematic reviews of literature by using continual surveillance for new research evidence and inclluding relevant new information in systematic reviews in a timely manner. It also discusses features of the Cochrane LSR search. A video and slides are available.

Study Types in Epidemiology. Year Developed: n.a.. Source: Northwest Center for Public Health Practice. Presenter(s): John Kobayashi, MD, MPH. Type: Narrated Slide Presentation. Level: Introductory. Length: 45 minutes.
Annotation: This module introduces learners to epidemiologic designs and their uses. First, the course describes the goals of epidemiology studies, and then defines the information needed to answer the “five W’s” (what, who, where, when and why). Next, the module describes the differences between descriptive and analytic studies, and gives examples of study designs within each category, using the recent SARS outbreak to illustrate concepts. Learning is reinforced with short exercises and a final assessment.
Learning Objectives: • List the differences between descriptive and analytic epidemiology • Describe the main types of epidemiologic studies and their uses • Identify and provide examples of person, place, and time in descriptive studies • Describe the main differences among case-control, cohort studies, and environmental studies
