While HRC's primary orientation is toward
the use of projectable quantitative research (telephone
surveys, for example), we also regularly recommend and
use qualitative techniques such as focus groups and depth
interviews to enhance quantitative efforts.
Whatever
methodologies are employed, we strongly recommend the
integration of research into a time-series or longitudinal
framework for tracking change and progress toward goals
over time.
