NIH Record - National Institutes of Health

Webinar on Mixed Methods in Disease Prevention, Health Promotion

The latest Medicine: Mind the Gap webinar will explore how quantitative research methods have the most power to appeal to collaborators in funding and policy, while qualitative studies can enhance the validity or trustworthiness of inferences and assertions by providing mutual confirmation of findings. 

It will be held Monday, Mar. 27 from noon to 1 p.m. and registration is required. Speaker is Dr. Leonard A. Jason, professor of psychology at DePaul University and director of the Center for Community Research.

Jason is a former president of the division of community psychology of the American Psychological Association. He has served as vice president of the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and as chair of the research subcommittee of the U.S. chronic fatigue syndrome advisory committee. 

Jason will accept questions before and during his presentation via email at prevention@mail.nih.gov and on Twitter with #NIHMtG. Register for the webinar at https://nih.webex.com/nih/onstage/g.php?MTID=e13cfa0afb1a68cfd13887e2462f27beb.
