If a researcher wants to conduct outcomes research, what is a major difference between it and a typical quantitative study?
a. A definite plan must be developed, including all steps of the research.
b. Process and causal links must be justified.
c. The study requires a large sample.
d. There is a need for two groups—the subjects of care and the providers of care.
ANS: B
The theory requires that identified outcomes be clearly linked with the process that caused the outcome. The researcher must define the process and justify the causal links with the selected outcomes. This requires a dialogue between the subjects of care and the providers of care.
This is true of any research project. The theory requires that identified outcomes be clearly linked with the process that caused the outcome. The researcher must define the process and justify the causal links with the selected outcomes. This requires a dialogue between the subjects of care and the providers of care.
Large samples may be required with many quantitative studies. The theory requires that identified outcomes be clearly linked with the process that caused the outcome. The researcher must define the process and justify the causal links with the selected outcomes. This requires a dialogue between the subjects of care and the providers of care.
Quantitative research often requires two groups of subjects. The theory requires that identified outcomes be clearly linked with the process that caused the outcome. The researcher must define the process and justify the causal links with the selected outcomes. This requires a dialogue between the subjects of care and the providers of care.
