Learn how to design, collect, and manage high-quality health research data — from quantitative methods and online surveys to REDCap data management and ethical best practices. A practical, CRENC-IeDEA case-study-based module for researchers and data collectors.

01
Compare data collection tools and methods

Distinguish when to use questionnaires, interviews, checklists, biometric measurements, or data extraction sheets based on your study design and objectives.

02
Design and deploy sound collection instruments

Build clear, well-structured paper or electronic tools — from REDCap forms to online surveys — with proper validation rules, skip logic, and quality controls built in.

03
Recognize risks to data quality and participant protection

Identify non-response, missing data, measurement bias, security gaps, and ethical pitfalls before they compromise your study.

04
Plan stronger data management practices

Turn your collection process into a secure, well-documented workflow — from field data capture through verification, validation, and ethical data sharing.
