A
  1. How will you MEASURE the quantitative portion?
17
Q

2 ways to sequence the MM design

A
  1. Sequential 2. Concurrent
18
Q

Which type of SEQUENCE of MM design is described? * data not collected at same time * qualitative collected first, then quantitative (EQUAL qual –> quan * QUAN first –> qual (QUANT dominant) * analysis and interpretation in 1 phase informs the 2nd
