It became increasingly clear, however, that while numbers are essential for policy and monitoring purposes, it is also important to understand people's perception of poverty and their mechanisms for coping with poverty and other situations of extreme economic and social stress." Researchers have recognized over the past few years that quantitative analysis of the incidence and trends in poverty, while essential for national economic development planning, must be complemented by qualitative methods that help planners and managers understand the cultural, social, political, and institutional context within which projects are designed and implemented. This report is based on a two-day workshop held in June 1998, where outside research specialists and World Bank staff discussed the importance of integrating these research methods. The participants reviewed experiences in the use of mixed-method approaches in Bank research and project design. This report is a result of those discussions. The report examines the need for integrated research approaches in social and economic development, presents case studies of integrated approaches in practice, and talks about lessons learned. Part I describes the evolution of interest in, and the potential benefits of integrated research, and, Part II presents case studies on how integrated approaches have been used in poverty analysis, education, health, and water supply and sanitation, while Part III discusses lessons learned with respect to the use of integrated approaches, and assesses the benefits that can be achieved.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTRESEARCHSOCIOECONOMIC CONDITIONSSOCIAL SCIENCESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESINTEGRATED APPROACHQUANTITATIVE ANALYSISQUALITATIVE DATAGENDER ISSUESPOVERTY ANALYSISCASE STUDIESHOUSEHOLD DATAEDUCATIONAL REFORMEVALUATION CRITERIACOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONQUALITY OF EDUCATIONHEALTH ASPECTS OF POVERTYWATER SUPPLY & SANITATIONPROJECT EVALUATIONSOCIAL ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY ASSESSMENTS ANALYTICAL METHODSASSESSMENT METHODSASSESSMENT STUDYCASE STUDIESCASE STUDYCENSUS DATACIPCIVIL SOCIETYCOLLABORATIVE RESEARCHCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKDATA ANALYSISDATA COLLECTIONDATA COLLECTION METHODSDATA SOURCESDESCRIPTIVE STATISTICSDEVELOPMENT PLANNINGDEVELOPMENT RESEARCHDEVELOPMENT WORKECONOMIC ANALYSISFAMILIESGIRLSGROUP DISCUSSIONSHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH STATUSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD SURVEYINFORMATION NEEDSINSTITUTIONAL CONTEXTINTEGRATED APPROACHINTERVIEWSKEY INFORMANT INTERVIEWSLOCAL LEVELMALARIAMALNUTRITIONMANAGERSMARKETINGMIGRATIONMOTIVATIONMULTIDISCIPLINARY RESEARCHMULTIVARIATE ANALYSISNEEDS ASSESSMENTNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSPARTICIPANT OBSERVATIONPARTICIPATORY ASSESSMENTPARTICIPATORY METHODSPARTICIPATORY RESEARCHPOOR PEOPLEPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY ASSESSMENTPOVERTY ASSESSMENTSPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPOVERTY REDUCTIONPPAPRAPROGRAMSPUBLIC HEALTHQUALITATIVE APPROACHESQUALITATIVE DATAQUALITATIVE METHODSQUALITATIVE RESEARCHQUALITATIVE RESEARCH METHODSQUALITATIVE TOOLSQUANTITATIVE ANALYSISQUANTITATIVE DATAQUANTITATIVE METHODSQUANTITATIVE RESEARCHQUESTIONNAIRESRANDOM SAMPLINGRELIABILITYRESEARCH DESIGNRESEARCH FINDINGSRESEARCH METHODOLOGIESRESEARCH METHODOLOGYRESEARCH METHODSRESEARCH PROCESSRESEARCHERSSAMPLE SELECTIONSAMPLE SURVEYSSAMPLING FRAMESAMPLING METHODSCIENCESSOCIAL ASSESSMENTSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL GROUPSOCIAL RESEARCHSTATISTICAL ANALYSISSTATISTICAL METHODSSTRUCTURAL ADJUSTMENTTECHNIQUESUNEMPLOYMENTVALIDITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWATER SUPPLYWorld Bank10.1596/0-8213-4431-5
