"The demand for high-quality, evidence-based health care represents
a paradigm shift in health research, which this handbook explores.
Essays focus on a wide range of topics within qualitative research
investigation, including the philosophy of science, chaos theory,
bioethics, reliability and validity issues, levels of research, and
mixed methods approaches. With this volume, the editors--all
internationally recognized experts in the social sciences--offer a
valuable educational tool for instructors at either the
undergraduate or the graduate level."
