Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read the instructor guidance, the mixed methods section of Chapter 7 and all of Chapter 10 in the Creswell and Creswell text, and Chapter 2: Formulating Questions, Conducting a Literature Review, Sampling Design, and the Centrality of Ethics in Mixed Methods Research of the Hesse-Biber ebook. Your instructor will post an announcement with the reference for the mixed methods research study you will discuss and critique in this discussion. The study will be found in the UAGC Library. Refer to the Library resource How Do I Find an Article When I Have a Citation?Links to an external site. if you need help finding the article.
In your initial post, consider the following:
- What is the research question? Does the research question clearly call for both qualitative and quantitative methods?
- Which type of mixed methods research design was used?
- What procedures were used to recruit participants for the quantitative sample and the qualitative sample? Were the sample sizes appropriate? Why or why not?
- What ethical considerations were mentioned in the research report? What applicable ethical considerations can you think of that were not mentioned by the researchers?
- Would you have designed the study differently after evaluating how well the researchers carried out each part of the study? If so, how?
- Would a mixed methods approach be suitable for the research topic you chose in Week 1? Why or why not?
for the last question, my research topic in week one dealt with at-risk youth and how mental illness affects them.
i also attached the reading needed to figure out the research question. And to answer all the prompts.

Abstract
Background: This study aimed to examine personal care aides (PCAs)’
knowledge, beliefs, and attitudes towards late-life depression and their
experience caring for older adults with depression.
Method: This study used a mixed-methods convergent parallel design
involving an online survey (n = 87) and semi-structured interviews (n = 22).
Survey respondents were recruited using convenience sampling and
interviewees using purposive sampling from private duty home care agencies
in Michigan. Qualitative data analyzed using a technique involving data
reduction and open coding. Survey data were analyzed using descriptive
statistics.
Results: Most PCAs underestimated suicide rate among older adults,
overrated self-help ability of the depressed person, underrated di#culty
diagnosing depression, and attributed depression to personality $aws. PCAs
favored psychotherapy and informal support and generally regarded
medication as unhelpful, particularly in mild/moderate depression. Despite
these discordances, PCAs’ self-reported practice behaviors included strategies
(i.e., communication, behavioral, cognitive, emotional regulation, relational,
and external) that were largely consistent with the scienti%c view, particularly

relating to behavioral activation. A prominent theme from PCAs’ narratives
was individualized care, re$ected in their assessment of depressive symptoms,
attitude towards depression treatment, and strategies caring for clients.
Conclusions: Several areas of PCAs’ perceptions regarding late-life depression
were discordant with the current scienti%c view, although their practice
behaviors were largely consistent with the principles of evidence-based
practice for depression. Specialized mental health training, a standard
depression care protocol, and higher training standards are essential to
mobilize the large number of PCAs to improve the mental health outcomes of
hard-to-reach older adults.
