Students will be supervised in the completion of a research project of relevance to the youth mental health field. With the ongoing support and guidance of their dedicated supervisor from Practice-Based Research Methods and Youth Mental Health Research Project 1, students will build on their research proposal and literature review by conducting a research project. The project may include a systematic review, a meta-analysis, a narrative review, a quantitative analysis of secondary data, a program evaluation, or a qualitative research study. Students will produce a final research report of between 4,000 to 8,000 words that is suitable for submission for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, intended to equip them with a viable pathway to a PhD in the youth mental health field.
