Description
The contributors to this volume challenge the typical stereotyping of quantitative and qualitative researchers, and suggest the need for each to use available tools constructively.
The resources described, selected from many disciplines including health research, medicine, anthropology and psychology, were chosen on the basis of importance and relevance to primary care problems and their unavailability in the traditional medical literature.
