Evaluating Research Questions and Qualitative Research Designs

Just as in quantitative research, when researchers set out to design a qualitative research study, they are guided by its purpose, and their research questions align with their selected approach and the data that will be collected.

As you learned in previous weeks, alignment means that a research study possesses clear and logical connections among all of its various components. In addition to considering alignment, qualitative researchers must also consider the ethical implications of their design choice, including, for example, what their choice means for participant recruitment, procedures, and privacy.

For this Discussion, you will evaluate qualitative research questions in assigned journal articles in your discipline and consider the alignment of theory, problem, purpose, research questions, and design. You will also identify the type of qualitative research design or approach the authors used and explain how it was implemented. Narrative, ethnographic, grounded theory, case study, and phenomenology are examples of types of research designs or approaches used in qualitative research.

With these thoughts in mind, refer to the Journal Articles document for your assigned articles for this Discussion. If your last name starts with A through I, use Article A. If your last name starts with J through R, use Article B. If your last name starts with S through Z, use Article C.

Fiscal Health in BHM Decisions

What kind of financial decisions need to be made in the ever-changing health care landscape? Health care costs have risen dramatically in recent years and attempts have been made to contain them. Consequently, in providing services it is important to understand the costs involved on a monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis. Where is the organization spending money? What programs or services are generating income? Financial information is important in making short-term financial decisions as well as long-term strategic investments. Whatever the case, fiscal decisions should always be consistent with the mission and vision of the organization.

For this week’s Discussion, you will examine the fiscal decisions involved in managing behavioral health care organizations.
