Short Course description:

The goal of this course is to introduce mixed method social science study designs for the conduct of individual studies, and programmes of study, suitable for research on poverty as a global challenge. Social science and health researchers have traditionally gravitated towards either quantitative or qualitative research, and few researchers have the skills needed to successfully combine the two approaches. Yet this situation is changing, and mixed methods research is finding acceptance by peers, funding agencies and journal editors. The appeal is that research combining qualitative and quantitative traditions may offer valuable insight about phenomena that would escape a researcher working in just one or the other tradition.
