The Handbook of Applied Social Research Methods shows how to make intelligent and conscious decisions so that researchers can refine and hone their research questions as new knowledge is gained, unanticipated obstacles are encountered, or contextual shifts take place – all key elements in the iterative nature of applied research. With examples and illustrations from the authors′ own experiences, this book gives readers a practical guide to conducting applied research.
