Research is the careful inquiry or investigation of a given subject or any topic with a view of bringing out new facts about a particular branch of knowledge. It can be defined as the art in the science of search for new knowledge through queries and analysis. The primary purpose of research is to achieve new insight for better familiarity, to know the accuracy of the available information, to determine the frequency of occurrence or to test causal relationship between variables (Godwill, 2015). There exist two primary approaches to applied research methodology known as qualitative …show more content…
The difference between the quantitative and the qualitative applied research method is that a quantities approach deals with measurable quantities or amounts with the variables taking the form of a number. The qualitative applied research, on the other hand, is based on the quality of variables. The qualitative method tests qualities such as behavior change, attitude, opinion or feelings. The case of the Affordable Care Act commonly known as the Obama Care is used here to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative against the qualitative applied research methods Obamacare.net, 2014)
The quantitative approach to evaluating the Obamacare has the advantage of determining the financial impact of the healthcare system by asserting its economic value to all US citizens; the results are concrete in small scopes of the system and based on particular objectives. Data collected has a lot of security in availability, confidentiality, and integrity while the cost–analysis of the program can be established using the best-suited approach from the different methods available (O'Byrne, …show more content…
The lack of objectivity in evaluating the Obamacare using this approach makes it difficult to perform risk management or a follow-up. In addition to being slow to implement the qualitative investigation, the data collected cannot be used as a mathematical function to generalize the findings to the broader population. The lack of description such as the substantial the aspect of people disliking the Obamacare makes it difficult in substantiating the feeling (O'Byrne,
