AGUILERA EGUIA, Raùl et al. Selection of the appropriate design in biomedical research: foundations and considerations for evidence-based practice. Part I. Medisur [online]. 2024, vol.22, n.1, pp. 210-215. Epub 28-Mar-2024. ISSN 1727-897X.
In clinical research, it is crucial to make an appropriate selection of the research design. Each type of design meets different objectives, from examining prevalences through cross-sectional designs to analyzing exposures over time in cohort studies. Research designs can be classified as primary, such as randomized clinical trials, or secondary, such as reviews. They are also divided into experimental, which evaluate interventions, and observational, which simply observe without intervening. When choosing the most appropriate design, the research question, available resources, and ethical considerations should be taken into account. A correct choice guarantees the validity and applicability of the results, which is beneficial for both medicine and patients.
