In a table, discuss the different types of research designs and the intended beneficiaries when conducting a research study.

| Research Design | Description | Intended Beneficiaries |
|----------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Experimental Design | Involves manipulating one or more variables to observe the effect on another variable. | Intended beneficiaries include researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to establish causality. |
| Observational Design | Involves observing and describing phenomena without manipulating variables. | Intended beneficiaries include researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to understand relationships between variables. |
| Descriptive Design | Involves describing characteristics of a population or phenomenon. | Intended beneficiaries include researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to understand the current state of a population or phenomenon. |
| Correlational Design | Involves examining the relationship between two or more variables without manipulating them. | Intended beneficiaries include researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to identify patterns and associations between variables. |
| Qualitative Design | Focuses on understanding the meaning and context of experiences, beliefs, and behaviors through in-depth interviews, observations, or analysis of texts. | Intended beneficiaries include researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to gain insights into complex social phenomena. |
| Mixed Methods Design | Combines quantitative and qualitative research methods to provide a comprehensive understanding of a research problem. | Intended beneficiaries include researchers, policymakers, and practitioners looking to gain a holistic view of a research problem. |
