Bridge the gap between research and practice with Introduction to Research: Understanding and Applying Multiple Strategies, 5th Edition . This easy-to-read edition covers all the major research design strategies: qualitative, quantitative, naturalistic, experimental-type, and mixed method. And with the text's up-to-date research information and references, you will have a solid foundation from which to critique and understand research designs and their applications to healthcare and human service settings.
This book is like one of my main lecturers: not comprehensive at all. Though it's only an introduction to research, there should be comprehensive explanations to the strategies.
