Qualitative research
Quantitative research, the most frequently used method, is a formal, objective,
systematic methodology to describe variables, test relationships, and examine
cause-and-effect interactions. Quantitative research includes experimental
research, which is the method for testing cause-and-effect relationships between
and among specific variables. Qualitative research methods are used for
explaining meanings and describing experiences in context. Descriptive research
involves identifying and understanding the nature of phenomena and, sometimes,
the relationships among them. Outcomes research examines the end result of care
in huge populations, most often retrospectively, using a database.
