Common Pitfalls in PA Education Research
Description
Join Trenton Honda, PhD, MMS, PA-C, editor-in-chief for the Journal of PA Education as he chats with Nick Hudak, PhD, MPA, MSEd, PA-C, associate professor in family medicine and community health at Duke University, and William Schweinle, PhD, a professor in Physician Assistant Studies at the University of South Dakota. They discuss common problems and pitfalls in research submissions to JPAE, delving into the importance of proper sampling, multiple hypothesis testing, and validation in survey research. The conversation addresses concerns about over-surveying the American population and the need for stratified random sampling. They emphasize the importance of involving a statistician early in the process and the need for more contextualized information within the current literature, encouraging authors to provide valuable insights into their research findings, including the "so what" factor.
