Summary note
The Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods provides a complete resource to guide your decisions for all your applied research questions. The book's emphasis is on finding the tools that best fit the research question given the constraints of deadlines, budget, and staff available.
It will show you how to make intelligent and conscious tradeoffs so that you refine and hone the research question as new knowledge is gained, unanticipated obstacles encountered, or contextual shifts take place - key elements in the iterative nature of applied research. The book also describes how to frame the results so that they can reach the attention of decision makers and other potential users of the research.
