1. [Title of your PhD]
[Add your name here, name of supervisors, funding body name (if appropriate), name of University e.g. your affiliation]
Hint: When formulating your title, think about what the relevant reporting guidelines from the EQUATOR Network say about what should be in a title and how it should be structured

2. 1. Relevance of your research
Here we briefly expect you to tell us about:
Epidemiological context (prevalence, incidence, prognosis, impact, etc.)
What we already know and what we do not know
Why is further knowledge of importance?
Theoretical and philosophical underpinnings
e.g. biological, social, psychological, behaviour change, nursing, positivism, pragmatism, relativism, etc.

5. 4. Detailed research design
Here we expect you to continue from previous slide:
Full details of the method(s) used e.g. recruitment, participants/informants, sampling, type of sample, n, measures, data collection, type of analysis, outputs
Intervention and components – if testing an intervention
Links – integration if you use mixed methods
Hint: you might want to focus on one specific sub-study if you are conducting multiple studies. We encourage you to use relevant protocol design components for your presentation – See last slide for www-links.
