This two-volume set presents a course outline, in modular format, 
that deals step-by-step with the development of a Health Systems 
Research (HSR) proposal and field testing (Part 1) and with data 
analysis and report writing (Part 2).
 
The unanticipated application of the modules in academic as well 
as health management circles led to rapid exhaustion of the 1991 
edition and the several subsequent reprints. The different groups 
of users also made many useful suggestions for change, which 
needed elaborating. The HSR Unit in AFRO, with agreement from 
IDRC therefore decided to organise a revision of the HSR modules. 
An interdisciplinary group of Southern African researchers car-
ried out the revisions in two workshops in 1998 and 1999, and two 
of the three original editors finalised the present version. IDRC 
kept the end responsibility for the publication, which was fi-
nanced by AFRO and IDRC and published by KIT.
