Mixed method studies demand that we apply sound analytic strategies to all our evidence – qualitative and quantitative. This book covers mixed methods research in a concise manner; how qualitative and quantitative methods within the same study are being used in social work research; and the unique possibilities for the future of mixed methods in social work. Watkins and Gioia review the fundamentals of mixed methods research designs and guide the reader through considerations for the application of mixed methods research in social work settings. This is a short and practical guide not just for learning about mixed methods research, but also doing it.
