he theme of the 16th Annual Health Research Methods 2013 course is “Integrating Evidence into Real World Settings”. This year’s Program features workshops, delivered by experts, on an array of health research methods and their application to policy and practice settings. With this theme in mind, we encourage participation by health professionals who are involved in planning, managing, evaluating and providing health services; and others who wish to know more about research and evidenceinformed practice and policy.

SATELLITE BIOSTATISTICS COURSE Basics of Biostatistics: Understanding and Using Data Analysis Dr Kent Hecker Health professionals are increasingly required to critically evaluate health data as a basis for the delivery of evidence-informed practice. The general objective of this course is for participants to understand the conceptual basis, use and shortcomings of common statistical methods used in the analyses of health data. Examples from recently published research are employed to exemplify various statistical methods and research designs. The focus of the course is on conceptual, practical and user issues rather than mathematical theory underlying the statistical procedures. Topics will include descriptive analyses, significance testing, confidence intervals, identification and control of confounding variables, and parametric and non-parametric analyses. SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES Participants will be able to: • Distinguish between effective and poor analyses of data • Identify and appropriate statistical analyses • Run and interpret basic descriptive and inferential statistics Dr Kent Hecker is an Assistant Professor of Psychometrics in the Department of Veterinary Clinical and Diagnostic Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Department of Community Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine. He has 10 years of experience teaching introductory as well as advanced biostatistics to medical and other health professionals.

Keynote sessions will frame each day of the course. On the first day, Dr Lee A Green (Professor and Chair, Department of Family Medicine, University of Alberta) will talk about formative, mixed methods research to improve primary health care. On the second day, we will hear from Dr Juliet R Guichon (Assistant Professor, Department of Community Health Sciences, University of Calgary), whose talk will focus on health science research in the context of constitutional litigation.

O U T L I N E B6. Understanding Our World Through Digital Storytelling

Thursday MAY 2 – cont’d A5. Introduction to Program Evaluation

Digital stories are short stories (2-3 minutes) told in the first person. They are created by the storyteller in a facilitated workshop environment, and incorporate visuals and audio to help the audience “see” and “hear” the story. Learn more about how this storytelling technique can be used as a health research tool as well as to effectively capture ideas in many health settings. Bring one photo (preferably digital) that you would like to explore developing as a digital story.

This workshop will provide an overview of program evaluation. The purpose is to give participants an understanding of the planning and evaluation process, to familiarize them with current program planning and evaluation techniques and to help them develop the skills to apply these techniques to the health sector.

Marilynne Hebert, Leora Rabatach

A6. Qualitative Interviewing In this workshop, participants will (1) have a brief introduction to qualitative methods; (2) develop ‘preliminary’ interview questions/ guides; (3) engage in qualitative interviews; and (4) assess the process.

Bonnie Lashewicz C2. Build It and They May Not Come: Planning for and delivering impact through knowledge translation

This session outlines information capture and interpretation for commonly used administrative data sets. Participants will also learn how to access the AHS repository holdings.

Health care organizations rightfully expect the fruits of the research enterprise to extend beyond the simple dissemination of findings and extend into implementation in practice, when appropriate. This practical and hands-on session will review knowledge translation (KT) fundamentals, provide guidance for developing the KT sections of funding proposals, and explore the design of implementation tools and strategies that support the uptake of research findings.
