Turn your passion for healthier schools and neighborhoods into evidence that drives real change. Evidence-Driven Research Design: From Systematic Search to Publication Portfolio guides you step-by-step from picking a safe, meaningful topic to building a credible research portfolio you can share with teachers, community partners, and future employers. You’ll learn how to ask focused questions, search smarter (not longer), evaluate sources for quality and harm, and synthesize findings into a clear, actionable story. Then you’ll design a feasible, ethical mini-study—interviews, surveys, simple audits, or secondary data—using trauma-aware practices and strong data management. No advanced statistics required: we focus on practical analysis, transparent methods, and accessible visuals that inform decisions. By the end, you’ll package your work into a publication-ready portfolio that includes your refined question, protocol, ethics artifacts, annotated literature matrix, synthesis, data plan, analysis outputs, and dissemination products. Whether you care about mental health access, clean air, safe streets, or another community priority, this course gives you the tools to move from curiosity to credible evidence and from evidence to impact.

Evidence-Driven Research Design: From Systematic Search to Publication Portfolio

            <p>Research is a powerful tool for changing what matters in your school, family, and neighborhood. This course shows you how to use evidence—not rumors or clickbait—to advocate for safer streets, cleaner air, better mental health support, and other real needs in your community. You will learn how to search for information that is trustworthy, organize what you find, design a small but meaningful project you can actually do, and turn your results into clear recommendations people will listen to. Every step is designed for first-time researchers, English learners, and students balancing busy lives. We use trauma-aware practices, plain language, and options to protect your privacy and well-being.</p>

<p>We start by helping you pick a focused, safe, and meaningful topic connected to your lived experience. You’ll turn broad interests into specific, answerable questions using simple tools like PICO/PEO and problem–context–population framing. Next, you’ll learn smart searching skills: building keywords and synonyms, using AND/OR/NOT, and finding credible sources like Google Scholar, PubMed, CDC, WHO, local health reports, and gray literature. You’ll practice evaluating sources with a CRAAP-plus checklist (including bias and potential harm), spotting red flags like predatory journals, and deciding what to keep using clear inclusion and exclusion criteria.</p>

<p>As your pile of articles grows, you’ll build an annotated literature matrix to track key details—methods, samples, findings, strengths and limits—so you can see patterns without getting overwhelmed. You’ll synthesize what you’ve learned into themes and a simple conceptual framework that connects causes, contexts, and outcomes for your advocacy goal. With that map, you’ll design a doable research plan: interviews, focus groups, short surveys, audits, or secondary data. You’ll write a basic protocol for recruitment, consent/assent, instruments, procedures, and analysis, along with a realistic timeline and a clear data management plan.</p>

<p>Ethics and safety are built in. You’ll use trauma-aware options (like skipping questions and sharing support resources), protect privacy through de-identification and secure storage, and document your plan with a preregistration or an ethics checklist. For data collection, you’ll craft clear, culturally sensitive questions, translate and pilot them with peers, and think carefully about fairness and bias in sampling. You’ll name and store files consistently, create a data dictionary, and apply simple FAIR principles so your work is findable and usable while still protecting participants.</p>

<p>When it’s time to analyze, you won’t need fancy math. You’ll learn to calculate and visualize basic numbers (frequencies, percentages, simple comparisons) and to code qualitative notes for themes and quotes. You’ll practice honest interpretation—what your data can and cannot claim—then connect results back to your original question, framework, and community context. Finally, you’ll turn findings into action: a short research paper, clear tables and charts, a one-page policy brief, a class presentation, a community meeting handout, or a social media thread aimed at decision-makers.</p>

<p>Your capstone is a publication-ready portfolio that proves your growth and impact: refined question, protocol, ethics/preregistration artifact, annotated matrix, synthesized review, data plan, analysis outputs, and dissemination products. You’ll use rubrics for rigor, transparency, and reproducibility, exchange peer feedback, and reflect on what you learned and what comes next. Along the way, quick quizzes and short surveys will help you check your progress, adjust your plan, and stay confident. By the end, you’ll have more than a grade—you’ll have a credible, compassionate evidence base you can use to advocate for health in the places you care about most.</p>
