NURS 632 Mixed Methods Research

Credits: 3
This course focuses on different strategies used in inquiry that employ quantitative research, qualitative research, and the intentional integration thereof. Specific emphasis is placed on identifying and bridging diverse philosophical positions that often underlie mixed methods research and on data integration as a means to maximize the strengths of the qualitative and quantitative approaches and minimize their weaknesses. The importance of varied methodological and disciplinary expertise to the success of mixed methods teams will also be explored.
