| Summary: | Bridge the gap between research and practice with this book, which covers major research design strategies: qualitative, quantitative, naturalistic, experimental-type, and mixed method. And with the text's research information and references, readers will have a solid foundation from which to critique and understand research designs and their applications to healthcare and human service settings. Case examples provide real-life snapshots of what it is like to participate in different types of research processes, identify research dilemmas relevant to chapter subjects, and alert readers to problems they might encounter. Authors make the topics more accessible, so research becomes more relevant and topics come to life. This book covers experimental-type, naturalistic, and mixed method design strategies to improve readers' ability to compare, contrast, and integrate different research methods. |
