Join us for our latest INHSU Conversations Webinar, organised by our Early-Mid-Career Researcher Special Interest Group (INHSU EMCR), to discuss realist methods for infectious disease and substance use research.
In this webinar, we’ll be joined by Dr. Binta Sultan, University College London, and Dr. Wendy Masterton, Stirling University, to discuss realist methods for infectious disease and substance use research. Realist methodology is based on the assumption that the same intervention will not work everywhere and for everyone.
The focus is on “what works, for whom, under what circumstances and how”. Realist methods help us understand complex issues by digging deeper into the reasons behind behaviours and outcomes.
Dr. Sultan and Dr. Masterton will talk about two types of realist methods: realist synthesis and realist evaluation. These methods go beyond just describing what’s happening; they also help us understand why things happen the way they do. We’ll also hear real-life examples from their own research to show how realist methods have helped them uncover important insights.
