Biological research-biosocial research framework
Presenter(s): Tarani Chandola
This presentation will cover the need for a biosocial research framework, some of the data quality considerations researchers should keep in mind when they're doing biosocial research and some of the missing data implications in biosocial research.
Biological Research: Biosocial Research Framework
In this first part, I talk about why we need to have a biosocial research framework and introduce what is biosocial research.
Biological Research: Biological Data Quality Issues
The second part of this talk is about some of the data quality issues researchers should keep in mind when they are analysing biosocial data. I'll be talking about two kinds of issues in particular. One is about the mode or collection condition whether that's important and whether that should be taken to account when analysing biomarkers.
Biological Research:Missing biological data
The final topic I want to talk about in this series of presentations on methodological considerations when doing biosocial research is about missing data and that's because missing data is a huge problem with a lot of biosocial datasets there are substantial proportions of missing biological data and there are a number of processes that can generate these missing biological data in surveys
