Quantitative
This research design collects data from a population at a single point in time to examine the relationship between variables.
What is a cross-sectional study?
This qualitative method involves analyzing patterns, themes, and meanings from textual or visual data, such as interview transcripts or videos.
What is thematic analysis?
This mixed methods design involves collecting and analyzing qualitative and quantitative data separately but simultaneously, and then merging the results to draw comprehensive conclusions.
What is a convergent mixed methods design?
This type of survey is designed to estimate the proportion of a population that has a specific condition or characteristic at a particular point in time, providing a snapshot of the health status or behavior in a population.
What is a prevalence survey?
This research design uses existing records to examine trends and outcomes without manipulating any variables.
What is a retrospective study?
This method involves group discussions led by a moderator to gather diverse perspectives on a particular topic or issue.
What is a focus group?
This sampling technique in mixed methods allows researchers to select participants based on specific characteristics needed for both qualitative and quantitative phases.
What is purposeful sampling?
This type of longitudinal study follows a group of individuals who share a common characteristic or exposure over time to assess the development of specific outcomes or diseases, often comparing those exposed to a risk factor with those not exposed.
What is a cohort study?
This type of design aims to determine causality by manipulating one variable and observing its effect on another, often including control groups and randomization.
What is an experimental design?
This initial step in Grounded Theory involves breaking down data into discrete parts and naming them to capture key concepts.
What is open coding?
This mixed methods design begins with qualitative data collection and analysis to explore a phenomenon, followed by quantitative data to test or generalize the initial findings.
What is an exploratory mixed methods design?
This type of study starts with identifying individuals who have a specific outcome or disease and then looks backward to determine their exposure to potential risk factors, comparing them with a control group without the outcome.
What is a case-control study?
This type of research design involves randomly assigning participants to either the treatment or control group to determine the effect of an intervention.
What is a randomized controlled trial (RCT)?
This type of qualitative research involves observing people in their natural environment to understand their behaviors, cultures, and experiences.
What is ethnography?
This phase in Mixed Methods Research involves combining qualitative and quantitative findings to draw comprehensive conclusions.
What is integration?
This type of study focuses on a detailed analysis of a group of patients with a similar condition or treatment, often used to identify patterns, rare side effects, or outcomes. It is typically less comprehensive than a cohort study and does not include a control group.
What is a case series?
This descriptive method uses maps and charts to visualize and describe the geographic distribution of health conditions or variables.
What is geospatial analysis?
This qualitative approach seeks to understand the lived experiences of individuals by focusing on their personal perceptions and interpretations.
What is phenomenology?
This mixed methods design starts with quantitative data collection and analysis, followed by qualitative data to further explore or explain the initial results.
What is an explanatory mixed methods design?
This type of study examines a population at a single point in time to assess the prevalence of a condition or characteristic, providing a snapshot that helps to identify associations between variables but not causal relationships.
What is a cross-sectional study?
