A helpful list…

At the end of my quantitative methods class this semester my professor listed out these points as what we are now capable of doing from an anthropological perspective. I found it helpful and think others would to!
Selling what you’ve just learned :
(What you can do with this course- my own list)
- community/ organizational needs assessment
- “intervention” evaluation/ assessment with case-control studies
- product / program evaluation
- survey construction, evaluation, and implementation
- behavioral data analysis/ discover meaningful patterns within data
- construct culturally appropriate sampling frames
- exploratory, descriptive, and explanatory research design
- apply cultural knowledge to enhance study validity and reliability
- integrate quantitative-qualitative methods
- analysis of culture as an element of problem solving/ decision-making
- apply a “holistic” perspective to system-wide detail
- construct exploratory, explanatory, and descriptive research designs
- approximate longitudinal studies in cross-sectional design
- community empowerment/ advocacy/ action research
- apply methodological and theoretical toolkits to discover and explain behavior
