OVERVIEW
A case study is a research approach that is used to generate an in-depth, multi-faceted
understanding of a complex issue in its real-life context. The general purpose of a case study
research is to describe an individual situation (case), identify the key issues of the case (your
assignment question should tell you what to focus on), analyze the case using relevant theoretical
concepts from a health perspective, and recommend a course of action for that particular case.
You will analyze two Case Studies throughout the duration of this course. For each case study,
you will be asked to answer specific questions based on the content of the current, drug-related
issue video/article/scenario provided. The purpose of these reports is to give you a chance to
work out your own view about the issues raised by each case and to practice the procedure for
analyzing dilemmas related to drug use.
