The course introduces the students to advanced research methodology used in the addiction field. It provides the students with necessary knowledge and skills to design their own doctoral project and their own future research projects, but also to make them oriented in the methodology of research of other leading authors. The course should equip the students with the basic competencies of a researcher in addiction science and acquaint them with specific procedures, tools and methods used in the research of substance related problems, behavioral addictions, implementation science and translational research.
