Discussion: Research Designs Matrix

Permalink: https://collepals.com/discussion-research-designs-matrix/ ‎

Choose a topic in health care or health care administration to focus on.

Locate two empirical research articles on the topic; one must be qualitative, and the other must be quantitative; seek faculty approval for these (I will check only two articles at a time for the team; don’t give me a whole long list!).  Do this early in the week; don’t wait till the last minute, or you may be on your own.

Create a comparison matrix that describes the components of the two research studies, including:

• Problem being studied
• Hypothesis / research question
• Participant sample description, including any comparison groups if present
• Study design
• Specific data being collected, and How the data are being collected, such as questions asked, measures made, etc.
• Results, and how they are described
• Implications of the study

As you discuss each of the above components, be sure to point out the major differences between qualitative and quantitative designs, and the key details of the two research approaches,

In your matrix, you might have one column with the qualitative article’s specifics, one column with the quantitative article’s specifics, and a third column that points out the differences between them.

Be sure to provide citations and references, as appropriate.

HCS 542 WEEK 5 Types of Statistical Analyses Matrix

Develop a matrix that shows the uses of:

• Descriptive statistics
  • the specific types of measures of central tendency
  • the specific types of measures of variability
• Inferential statistics
  • t-tests
  • ANOVA
  • regression analyses
  • various correlational analyses
  • chi-square

In your matrix, indicate the purpose of each test, and give a simple description/example of when you would choose each one (e.g., “when you want to know blood pressure compares between a  control group and a group that gets an experimental hypertension drug”)

Be sure to indicate whether the tests

• provide information about significance of differences between groups
• provide information about significance of relationships between variables
• provide information about a single sample vs. two or more samples
• are parametric or nonparametric

Don’t forget to provide citations to your source material, with a reference page at the end.
