There are two DATASETS :
1) (a) A Quantitative dataset: a spreadsheet of data sourced from the Global Health Observatory.
(b) A Qualitative dataset: a focus group transcript sourced from the UK data service.
2). Aim of this assessment is to demonstrate ABILITY to MANAGE and MANIPULATE this data, present it professionally and provide a WRITTEN interpretation of these data.
3). The two datasets are not related: therefore this assessment should be presented in two DISTINCT sections (Quantitative and Qualitative).
4). Please include the following contents in each section:
. A very brief introduction to the dataset.
. Description of data management and analysis techniques applied to the data { For Quantitative section (e.g. measures of central tendency and dispersion) and For Qualitative (e.g. Coding and theming processes.)}
. Presentation of selected data in tables, graphs and/or figures (for Quantitative) & selected data in tables (for Qualitative).
. Description and interpretation of data in graphs, tables and/or figures {for Quantitative} and data in tables (for Qualitative).
. References to research methods literature to justify the analysis techniques you have applied.
. Brief discussion to the relevance of the data to policy, practice and future research.
. References to the wider literature to support your interpretation of the data.
5) Information presented in tables or graphs/figures does not count towards the total word count.
6) Aspire to meet professional standards, such as the presentation style used in peer-reviewed academic journals.
7) Provide references to literature where appropriate. For example relevant research methods, other research studies, academic journals, books and or reports by national and international organisations.
