This practical How To guide takes the reader step-by-step through designing, conducting, and disseminating primary care research, a discipline that is growing internationally.

The vast majority of health care issues are experienced by people in community settings, who are not adequately represented by hospital-based research. There is, therefore, a great need to upskill family physicians and other primary care workers and academics to conduct community-based research to inform best practice.

Aimed at emerging researchers, including those in developing countries, this book also addresses cutting-edge and newly developing research methods, which will be of equal interest to more experienced researchers.
