Developing a question to answer is fundamental to research. A good question gives the research a framework, can help decide the methods used for undertaking the research and will make the research findings meaningful. Without a good question, research can be useless.
This webinar will cover how to develop a research question in the mental health and alcohol and other drugs sectors, including how to make it meaningful in non-government settings where funding for research is often not the priority.
