Question 69 states:
While searching an electronic database for articles related to the effectiveness of functional electrical stimulation for individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury, you find an article describing the e-stim experiences of individuals living with spinal cord injuries. The study data was collected from small focus groups. What type of research does this study reflect?
a. Quantitative
b. Translational
c. Qualitative
d. Non-parametric
The answer is c, but doesn’t this also describe non-parametric data since the results cannot be generalized to the larger population?
Non-parametric data requires data/numbers/statistics to analyze. This study involves only descriptive interviews from focus groups, which is qualitative research.
