Document Summary
Individuals with severe mental illness often self-selected out of studies. "i"ll take someone with depression and anxiety, but not bipolar: but sometimes, these people might benefit the most from the findings. Stories are excluded: every experience is unique: the data is quantitative; what"s missing are the stories and the individual experiences. Barriers to inclusion: cost, too much money to include minority groups, cognitive impairment individuals, health provider attitudes and bias. Why is that mean of depression at a mid-point: captures experiences, everyone has a story, compliment quantitative data (mixed-methods) In a randomized controlled trials, bias is bad. Significant: must have meaning for participants, not just a research-driven thing, relevance beyond the context of the study, cyclical, plan, implement, evaluate, look, think, act. You"re developing a project, there"s a little piece we should test it out, you implement it and evaluate it and you refine what worked and what didn"t work with that little piece and implement and re-evaluate it.
