Qualitative Versus Quantitative Research
You have laid out several questions above some are quantitative and others are qualitative. First, what is the aim of your study? Second, have you thought about including experts in the field as a form of triangulation? This tactic is often used in qualitative research studies to substantiate the findings. How do you think this approach can strengthen your outcome and cultural sensitivity
The most ideal research methodology for me is a combination of the two. In this respect, the best approach for my study is a mixed research method.
(Wright-Berryman et al., 2018; Singer, 2017). The research question for this study is, “Is the school system obligated to provide education on suicide prevention? And if so, what is the school system’s role? What type of evidence-based programs are in schools for suicide prevention? Do the evidence-based programs decrease the rate of suicide?”
