Master of Public Health (Clinical Research), December 2005, 79 pp., 2 tables, 42 illustrations, references, 33 titles. The intent of this thesis project is to describe how Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) researchers can use the theory of Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) to enhance their ability to analyze research findings. This was achieved by evaluating the most frequently used outcome measures in OMM research published since 1993, describing EDA and its relevance to the types of data used in OMM research, and illustrating the ways EDA can be used in two current OMM studies to gain insights into the data and to shape future research questions.application/pdfenAlternative and Complementary MedicineClinical EpidemiologyHealth Services ResearchInvestigative TechniquesLife SciencesMedical SciencesMedicine and Health SciencesOsteopathic Medicine and OsteopathyRehabilitation and TherapySomatic Bodywork and Related Therapeutic PracticesTherapeuticsUtilityexploratory data analysis techniquesanalysisoutcome measuresOMMosteopathic manipulative medicine researchEDAexploratory data analysisThesis
