Knowledge of the professional in measuring the impact of any given service is crucial for the professional to be accountable service provider. A key component of the research process is the research design because the research design is the set of procedures that determine the assignment of subjects to the different phases and groups of treatment and how the and data will be collected. This requires both scientific and human considerations. While the plan of research involves all the decisions that go into the development of an evaluative research study, ranging from problem formulation to study conclusions, the research design is only one part of the research plan that determines the procedures for the selection of subjects, random or non-random assignment, the method of data collection, and the data analysis.
