Abstract

Quantitative research methods in pharmacy practice complement qualitative research methods by providing estimates of frequency, commonness and size. Researchers use existing data or collect their own via observation or selfreport. Challenges facing the use of quantitative methods include increasing levels of non-response and dealing with social desirability effects. We finish with a brief outline of how to start a quantitative research project.
