Read the two articles posted about treatment for HIV offenders and then address each of the following:
For each article:
1) In your own words:
Provide a summary of the methodology. The summary of methodology should include information such as the sample size, sampling method, description of the subjects included in the sample, where the study took place, if the study is cross-sectional or longitudinal, and how the data were collected.
Present the findings
Discuss the limitations of the study
**You must do this for each article**
2) Generally speaking (in terms of research methods – not the articles),
Describe the strengths and weaknesses of qualitative research.
Describe the strengths and weaknesses of quantitative research.
3) Finally, if you were going to conduct research on this topic (treatment for HIV offenders) , which methodological approach (qualitative or quantitative) would you choose? Justify your response.
Your justification should take into account information such as:
time
resources
the population you are trying to describe
validity
generalizability
and how your study would contribute to the existing literature on this topic.
