Part 1: Insights Summary

Prepare a summary of what you believe to be the three most important insights gleaned from the Chapters you read in the resource SAGE Mixed Methods Research.

Part 2: Data Surveys

Select three national quantitative data surveys that address a specific population health problem. Identify each by name, intended purpose, and the reference source.

Part 3: Assessment Instruments

What qualitative assessment instrument or instruments will complement your choice of quantitative data surveys? That is what qualitative approach you would use to reinforce or highlight the need for an intervention in your community. Recall that you learned how national quantitative databases are frequently used along with local qualitative studies to reinforce the relevance of a proposed intervention. Here are a few suggested topics where the quantitative/qualitative approach have been successfully used.

• The use of the emergency department for non-emergent care.
• The incidence and prevalence rates for diabetes in middle school-aged children.
• The effectiveness of pediatric urgent care.
