Hi Gill,
thanks for your reply. With regards to reply (2) I was thinking of the mediation analysis as potentially giving clues to contexts, particularly in terms of sociodemographics or perceptions as mediators of change. It's still very much a work in progress, hence opening it up for comment to the list, so I'm very grateful for your comments, they will make me consider more explicitly what exactly it is the mediation analysis may be able to provide and how (if at all!!) it could combine with the qualitative aspect.
Has anyone else conducted or considered using quantitative techniques alongside qualitative for their theory development? Would love to hear opinions on it. Thank you once again Gill, enjoy what's left of your day,
best regards,
Craig
