My overall reflection on applying the "Research Skills Program Part 2" to the case of Lead Poisoning in Ethiopia, specifically among children in informal battery recycling communities, solidifies the program's practical value and highlights the profound complexities of real-world public health research.
The exercise underscores that research is rarely a linear process, especially in contexts like Ethiopia where data gaps, resource limitations, and competing health priorities are prevalent. A strong grounding in research methodology (as provided by RSP Part 2) is essential, but equally important are adaptability, ethical vigilance, and a deep appreciation for the social and cultural context.
