Please review the Unit 2 Introduction and Required Resources regarding qualitative and quantitative research design. Then, consider your selected evidence-based practice problem/topic from unit 1 and the unit 2 assignment. Then, respond to the following question(s):
Compare and contrast qualitative and quantitative research designs. Think about this in terms of methodology and outcome.
If you were to actually conduct your own research study, would your selected evidence-based practice problem/topic lend itself to a qualitative or quantitative design? (Describe specifics around the topic to support your findings.)
Responses need to address all components of the question, demonstrate critical thinking and analysis, and include peer reviewed journal evidence to support the student’s position.
Topic from Unit 1 Unit 2 assignment is Mental Health Issues, concentration on substance and narcotic abuse and alcohol dependency using evidence based practice. My future career goal is PMHNP (psych NP). Part of being a practitioner is to be aware of the difference we make and being committed in research to improve what works and what does not work. Please reach out for further clarification if needed.
