摘要
We discuss how to think about qualitative and quantitative approaches to research in general and the value of home health research in particular. We describe several lesser known research or pernicious biases and the challenge of reasoned interpretations of data from research studies. We advocate policies that allow individuals to receive home-based care grounded in strong, objective scientific evidence and support critical thinking about implementation of care.
