This week, our e-text talks about qualitative studies. Most of the studies we have posted thus far are quantitative - they measure a variety of things; they count things; they compare things such as number of packs of cigarettes vs.life expectancy. THIS week, we are going to look at qualitative studies. If you can find a qualitative study related to your topic, please bring it to our board. For example, what is the "lived experience" of women with heart disease; or an ethnographic study of persons living with HIV/AIDS or a grounded theory study on your topic. List your topic as a search term and then add the search term qualitative study and see what comes up. If you need help, our librarian is here to help. Think about how this study feels different from a quantitative study.
