Integrative Approaches to Qualitative and Quantitative Evidence
- This 2004 report is an informal review of the literature on integrating qualitative and quantitative forms of evidence. The report seeks to address five related questions: 1. What is the role of qualitative approaches in traditional trials and experimental studies? 2. At what point in the development of a field of knowledge is it appropriate to pull qualitative and quantitative learning together? 3. What constitutes good evidence from qualitative studies? 4. Are there hierarchies of evidence within the different types of qualitative investigation? 5. How may the findings of qualitative and quantitative research be synthesised?

MCHP does research on the health of Manitobans. We examine patterns of illness in the population, and study how people use health care services. Our primary focus is on the question "What makes people healthy?" Many factors affect one''s health, such as income, education, employment and social circumstances. At MCHP, we are sorting out the contribution of each of these factors.
Our research helps health care decision-makers address some of today''s difficult questions: How can we make the best use of our health care resources? Who are the heavy users of health care services? What services will Manitobans need in the future? What factors - beyond medical care - determine people''s health? Have we overspent on health care by not getting at the root causes of poor health?
