I need a clue on which area of Adolescent health problem shall I focus for the PhD concept note. Thank you in advance for your help and professional input in advance.
Dear Sultan,
It is not clear whether you are seeking for ideas on how to choose a PhD topic within the broad area of adolescent health, or ideas on how to write the concept note. However your question provides the right starting point, either way.
On how to write the concept note, Peter Samuels , has prepared some useful materials, such as you can find here: https://www.researchgate.net/project/PhD-Proposal-Writings
Oh how to choose a topic for your PhD, you can begin by considering:
-what you are currently doing within adolescent health
-your past research work in this area (you can build on it)
-your career interests (what do you want to do within adolescent health), since you are not going to do PhD research for the sake of it, but for a contribution beyond the PhD itself.
-areas of professional challenges, controversies, gaps or inspiration.
It is important for you to (1) read the published literature on adolescent health- research papers, grey literature and other kinds of literature (2) speak with {potential} supervisors or mentors.
Best wishes.
Dear Dr. Nyawira Mwangi ,
Thank you very much for providing me an insight on how to develop concept note as well as on how to identify the topic of my interest. I was intended to know which areas of Adolescent reproductive health is good to focus recently in developing country. Your recommendation really beneficiary and will utilize them. Thank you.
Best regards,
Sultan H.
You have selected a good area, Please let us know where you want to conduct the study. Whether you want to go for school based on community based study? Whether you want to include both sexes or only females?
Dear Prof. Bishan Swarup Garg,
Thank you very much for sharing your precious time. I will conduct the research in Ethiopia using community based study by including both sexes.
nice, in the case you may focus on general health status or on Nutritional Status. Depending upon need you may focus on HIV/AIDS/Malaria or other Communicable Diseases or Non Communicable Disease.
The topic may be selected based on the need of the Community or priority of Health System or in the lab/department wherever you are working
Thank you very much, the information you provide is really insightful to start.
Dear Sultan ji, it's nice to hear that you wish to work on adolescents health issues. You can work in institute/ schools / hospital set up as convenient. The health issues in adolescents are many depending upon these you may work on drug abuse/alcoholism or parenting adolescents. Have a conceptual design & go ahead and can get review of literature and research studies.
Dear Dr. Mahender ji, thank you very much for your motivational and helpful information.
