Unique chapters cover case study research, intervention studies, and participatory research. The authors use their experiences and knowledge to provide both personal and published research stories to contextualize qualitative concepts.Many of the examples demonstrate the use of qualitative methods within a mixed-methods approach.Each chapter concludes with open-ended questions to further reader contemplation and to spark discussions with classmates and colleagues.
