Method Analysis

Abstract

Background

The research has been planned because of the increasing number of cases of Malaria in certain areas and the doubt that RDT is not an effective method of detection of the disease. It is eminent to mention here that the villages under observation were previously tested using BS, which is slightly outdated method for detection of Malaria and thus is not as effective as well.

Method

Experiment method would be used for checking the effectiveness of RDT against BS and blood samples selected individuals would be tested in laboratory to look for the signs of Malaria virus. The temperature of all these areas was specifically considered to keep in view the chances of getting the disease because of mosquito bite.

Objective

The major objective of the research is to compare the effectiveness of RDT and BS in diagnosing Malaria in order to highlight the efficiency of RDT.

Research

The research expands in six different villages and tested bold samples individuals from all these villages using RDT. The results of their previous tests (that were conducted using BS) were compared with the current results to see the effectiveness of the current method.

Conclusion

The research ended with the conclusion that RDT is indeed more effective and efficient in detection of Malaria as compared to BS and thus should be employed as the modern as well as developed method of detection of Malaria.

Assessment

Research Design

Was the research design described in adequate detail to allow replication?

The data was actually collected using Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) and the related information, which can be easily replicated at any time by the future researchers. It should also be noted that the research is going on in six different villages and the data would then be collected to formulate final results.

Was the selection of the research design justified?

The selection of the research design is justified as Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT)(Rapid Diagnostic Test) allow proper and immediate detection of malaria and also allows the medical practitioners to know about the chances of patients getting malaria. Thus, the process of conducting Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) in six different villages, while collecting their history and accessing the preventive methods in use in those areas proves that research design is valid, effective as well as justified.

Was the research design appropriate for addressing the problem?

The research design is also appropriate for addressing the issue as the research aims at judging the effectiveness of Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT) in community studies and the design allows the researcher to check its accuracy in precise as well as accurate manner, thus leading to production of appropriate results.

If a qualitative participant study, was the role of the researcher specified?

As the study qualifies for being qualitative participant study, the role of the researcher is specified for the collection of blood samples and testing them later on. It is eminent to mention here that qualitative and experimental research would be employs to complete the study: it has to be experimental because of the requirements of the research demand ...
