Optional assignment for participation credit.
Review the 4 minute video on Youtube on the “Introduction of Research Methods” by Greg Martin. Name an example of both a qualitative and quantitative research method he chalked on the blackboard.

This video gives an excellent overview of qualitative and quantitative research! Qualitative research aims to understand or make discoveries on the quality or nature of a certain phenomenon, while quantitative research looks at the extent or prevalence of a specific occurrence or association (Martin, 2013). Some examples of qualitative research methods include simple observation, and the conduction of interviews, focus groups, or surveys (Martin, 2013). Quantitative research methods can be observational, like case studies, or interventional (Martin, 2013). The Interventional category is the randomized controlled trial, which is considered the gold standard for research and is one I am personally more familiar with.

The video was informative. He described the difference between qualitative and quantitative research.
Qualitative research tells detailed information about who, why, what, how, or when. This information is obtained by observations, interviews, focus groups or surveys. Quantitative research tells “how much”. This type of research can be either observational or interventional. The observational research is obtained by cross sectional surveys, case control studies, cohort, or ecological.

Very nice overview of qualitative versus quantitative research. I like the comparison of what each type of research is looking for. In qualitative research, we are trying to answer the who, what, when, where, how, and why. Qualitative research methods include surveys, focus groups, and observation (Martin, 2013). When performing quantitative research, we are trying to find out how much. This can be for an occurrence or relationship. Occurrences are studied using cross sectional surveys, cohort studies, or case control studies (Martin, 2013). The research style to study cause and effect relationships is randomized clinical trial, where a control group and an intervention group are studied to determine causal effect.

This was a great video, especially for this week’s assignment, to help understand the difference between qualitative and quantitative research. Qualitative research will look how, who, what, how, when, and why (Martin, 2013). It focuses on the nature of the phenomenon, essentially what is causing that phenomenon to occur. Researchers will focus on observing a community or interviewing participants. Quantitative research answers the question of how much, looking at the big picture (Martin, 2013). The outcome and the risk factors leading up to it.

Translational research is the process of turning observations seen in the community into interventions that will improve the health of the public. The challenge of doing this process is taking basic discoveries observed and turning them into health benefits (Gilliland et al., 2016). Global disease is increasing at an alarming rate, with the population accumulating more and more chronic conditions. Our society, especially in the United States, has more health disparities and social determinants than any other country. I think it largely has to do with our diet. The food we eat is pumped with different chemicals and preservatives, aiding in our demise of different health diseases/conditions. Based on these theories, research should be funded, trying to isolate what chemical is causing them. Translational researchers can learn information from the real-world experiences of patients living with these different health disparities. For
example, isolating and connecting the dots to what causes cancer. It is essential to advocate and increase the understanding of this transitional research, gaining prospects from different funders and policymakers, and helping to improve our communities and the lives of others.
