Research Design Unit Discussion 1

1. Compare and contrast qualitative and quantitative research designs. Think about this in terms of methodology and outcome.
2. 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.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

The initial discussion response should be in the range of 250-300 words.
