Theory kit
Here, a collection of theories is gradually emerging that can be used in health services research. They will be sorted at a later date according to types (according to Pfaff) and classification (simple, medium and high range - also according to Pfaff (1)) as well as by origin (scientific areas from which they come, such as sociology, behavioral science, economics, etc.). . These are presented and described by what we call “godparents”. Are you interested in working on it? Please contact MVF editor-in-chief Peter Stegmaier ([email protected]).
