Why may intervention research involve the efforts of an entire project team?
a. A multidisciplinary team provides the grounding, objectivity, and world wisdom to judge whether an intervention really has clinical merit.
b. Each member of the team carries out a separate research project at a different site, so that the results can be multi-site and more readily generalizable.
c. Institutional review boards will not approve intervention projects unless they are backed by an entire team, including representatives from both nursing and medicine.
d. It is rare for one person to be imaginative, clinically current, expert at marketing, skilled in statistics, and adept at both quantitative and qualitative research.
ANS: D
Because of the nature of intervention research, one may need to gather a multidisciplinary project team to facilitate distribution of the work and a broader generation of ideas. If both quantitative and qualitative data will be gathered during the research project, the team should include members experienced in various qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis approaches. Including a team member with marketing expertise will be beneficial, because the final step of the project will be to market the intervention.
