What types of research topics are feasible? What are important factors to consider when deciding on research topic?
The answer to this question depends on the location where you will be pursuing research as well as the time frame that you have. In general, studies requiring thousands of subjects (such as prevalence studies) are not feasible in a short time frame. In addition, it is important to keep in mind the local population.
