The study's embedded design thus allowed for the examination of 12 separate decision-making events across these six provinces, in addition to comparing contextual influences on decision-making around maternal smoking vs. alcohol use questions and prompts within each of the case provinces.
This research uses embedded design (quasi experimental and case studies).
For our study we found the d.mindsets by the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (d.school, 2011) and its focus on embedding design thinking more broadly in education useful.
Using an embedded mixed-methods design, study participants were asked a series of quantitative and qualitative items to assess use of the ED or UC materials and to obtain participant feedback.
To structure our data collection and analysis, we used a multiple, embedded case study design with the embedded units being providers, nursing/administrative staff, and patients nested within the larger case (i.e., the physician practice).
An embedded case study design was employed using interviews of actors and analysis of official documents.
Using an embedded case study design, a type of material object, the found object, was introduced to people in individual and group therapy.
An embedded case study design was used with multiple subunits of analysis (individual HMOs and the HMO industry) and mixed (qualitative and quantitative) methods, and the study was guided by the structure-conduct-performance paradigm that has its roots in the neo-classical theory of the firm.
Adopting an embedded case study design and a participatory approach for fieldwork, the data were mainly gathered from 27 semistructured interviews focused on GIS students' and educators' lived experiences of university assignments and their reflections on various aspects of IL in a master's degree GIS program jointly delivered by universities in the UK and USA.
Using an embedded case study design, where 'the case' examined was a new CRHT team set in its surrounding organisational environment, ethnographic data (with interviews predominating) were generated in a single site in Wales over 18 months from the middle of 2007.
