Ensure that your research studies have methodological rigour and will meet the standards set by peer-reviewed journals
High quality research requires the use of appropriate statistical principles and techniques to draw correct conclusions. This is particularly important for small study populations, as is often the case for pediatric research. Consult with WCHRI’s biostatisticians to ensure that statistical principles are included at the design stage, which will lead to reduced costs, shorter study time and clearer conclusions.
