Best Practices in Quantitative Research and an Interview With Dr Janani Rajbhandari.

Abstract

Quantitative research methods serve to advance health promotion science, sometimes by testing novel study questions and, more often, by reexamining questions that others have answered, sometimes over the course of many years. Replicability of findings is a central feature of getting at the truth about what works and what does not work in health promotion. This editorial taps into the experience and expertise of Dr Janani Rajbhandari who is an Associate Editor in Chief of this journal and who is a scholar with a strong portfolio of studies that use quantitative research methods. In this interview we discuss research challenges, problem solving and the vital role of peer reviewers.
