DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Because methods have yet to be developed to integrate findings across qualitative and quantitative studies, the evidence base for practice has yet to reflect all of the best evidence. Accordingly, the immediate aim of the proposed study is to develop methods to conduct mixed research integration studies. This is essential to facilitate the appropriate utilization in practice of all kinds of empirical research findings and to expand the methodological options available to accommodate disparate sources of evidence. Empirical research with findings pertaining to stigma and to adherence to antiretroviral therapy in HIV-positive women will be used to accomplish the objectives of the study, which are to: (a) clarify the relationships between qualitative and quantitative research findings in common research areas; (b) develop research designs for mixed research integration studies that accommodate these relationships, especially the heterogeneity across studies; (c) develop analytic techniques to link or transform qualitative and quantitative research findings for combination; and (d) produce credible and usable integrations of findings. All channels of communication will be used to conduct a comprehensive high-recall search of the literature. Reports retrieved will be appraised and compared for their informational content and formal properties. Among the specific methods that will be used are Ragin's comparative case analysis and Bayesian approaches to meta-analysis. The material outcomes of the project will include: (a) guidelines for conducting mixed research integration studies; (b) a set of procedures and tools to appraise, evaluate, classify, and combine findings in methodologically disparate studies; and (c) a set of research integrations produced from the methods developed in the project. This study is a continuation of the NINR/NIH study, "Analytic techniques for qualitative metasynthesis" (NR04907 & NR04907S, 06/01/00-02/28/05). This study is also in response to PA- 02-072, Methodology and Measurement in the Behavioral and Social Sciences, and addresses priorities in the NIH Roadmap initiative pertaining to the development of innovative methodologies and priorities in the Fiscal Year 2004 Plan for HIV-Related Research.

描述（由申请人提供）：由于尚未开发出在定性和定量研究之间整合发现的方法，因此实践的证据基础尚未反映出所有最佳证据。因此，拟议研究的直接目的是开发进行混合研究整合研究的方法。这对于促进各种经验研究结果的实践中的适当利用至关重要，并扩大可用的方法学选择以适应不同的证据来源。与污名和遵守HIV阳性妇女抗逆转录病毒疗法有关的发现的实证研究将用于实现研究的目标，这些目的是：（a）阐明在常见研究领域的定性和定量研究结果之间的关系； （b）为混合研究整合研究开发研究设计，以适应这些关系，尤其是研究之间的异质性； （c）开发分析技术，以将或转化定性和定量研究发现以进行组合； （d）产生发现的可靠和可用的整合。所有沟通渠道都将用于对文献进行全面的高核搜索。检索的报告将得到评估，并将其信息内容和正式属性进行比较。在将要使用的具体方法中，拉金的比较病例分析和贝叶斯荟萃分析方法。该项目的材料结果将包括：（a）进行混合研究整合研究的指南； （b）一组程序和工具，用于评估，评估，分类和结合方法中的发现； （c）从项目中开发的方法产生的一组研究整合。这项研究是NINR/NIH研究的延续，“定性元合成的分析技术”（NR04907＆NR04907S，06/01/00-02/28/05）。这项研究还针对PA-02-072，行为和社会科学的方法和测量方法，并解决了NIH路线图计划的优先事项，该计划与2004财政年度计划中HIV相关研究计划的创新方法和优先级有关。
