Writing about Data 



Quantitative data is information about quantities; that is, information that can be measured and written down with numbers. Some examples of quantitative data are your height, your shoe size, and the length of your fingernails.

Qualitative research is a method of inquiry employed in many different academic disciplines, including in the social sciences and natural sciences, and market research, business, and  non-profits.

There are a variety of methods of data collection in qualitative research, including observations, textual or visual analysis (eg from books or videos) and interviews (individual or group). However, the most common methods used, particularly in healthcare research, are interviews and focus groups.
