PHN 652-Topic 3 DQ 1: Topic 3: Data Collection And Analysis Methods

However, I believe that one of the main strengths of qualitative methods is that they provide more details and help to explain complex issues. Qualitative data methods allow the research of diverse issues and concepts (Busetto et al., 2020). However, despite the provision of more details of various complex issues, one of the main limitations of qualitative data methods is that such methods provide data that might be difficult to analyze. Such data can therefore be hard to fit into specific categories. Qualitative data can also be time-consuming to analyze and classify into specific themes (Busetto et al., 2020).

On the other hand, I agree with you that one of the main benefits of quantitative data is that such data can help to provide a clear picture of concepts and the relationship of different variables in research. I also agree with you that one of the main limitations of quantitative data methods is that they might not produce sufficient data to explain complex issues (Paradis et al., 2016). However, I believe that one of the main strengths of quantitative data methods is that the findings related to quantitative data methods can be significantly generalized if the study method is well designed with a sample that is clearly representative of a given study population. However, qualitative data methods make it difficult to understand a specific context that may be related to a given phenomenon (Paradis et al., 2016).
