Utilization research focuses on examining how effectively and efficiently resources, services, technology, or interventions are being used in various settings such as healthcare, education, or business. This type of research aims to assess and improve the utilization of resources to maximize their benefits and outcomes. Utilization research often involves studying patterns of use, barriers to access, factors influencing utilization, and strategies for optimizing utilization. It may also involve evaluating the impact of interventions or programs on utilization rates and outcomes. Ultimately, utilization research plays a critical role in informing decision-making, policy development, and program improvement efforts.
