Glossary: Research
Level of Analysis
In qualitative research, involves categorizing and coding data based on the level at which the phenomena of interest are examined or observed. Chosen by determining which word, set of words, or phrases will constitute a concept.
Level of Generalization
In qualitative research coding, the "level of generalization" refers to the degree of abstraction or specificity at which codes are applied to data. A researcher must decide whether concepts are to be coded exactly as they appear, or if they can be recorded in some altered or collapsed form.
Level of Implication
In qualitative research, this refers to the extent to which the coded data or themes suggest broader implications, insights, or consequences beyond the immediate context of the data. One must determine whether to code simply for explicit appearances of concepts, or for implied concepts, as well.
Life History
A record of an event/events in a respondent's life told by the respondent from their own perspective in their own words.
Link
In hypertext, refers to a connection or relationship established between different segments of data, codes, or themes.

Under certain circumstances we will consider providing certification to course graduates who are in the process of obtaining their license or who have alternative credentials.
For example, you may apply if you are a clinician completing licensure requirements by doing an internship, if you are a certified health coach, a diabetes educator, a nurse or other health and para health professional, or if you are practicing internationally under different credentials.
We consider these certification requests on a case-by-case basis.
Certification does not warrant that a program or its examination certifies a candidate’s competence. Nothing about this program or its examination is intended to replace, override, or conflict with licensing requirements for health professionals and their requirements for practice in their state of residency and practice.
This certification does not license you to practice.
