Doing Meaningful Positivist Research: Disclosing the Interpretive Work Involved in the Experimental Results of Patients Using Alternative E-Health Systems

Mike Chiasson
Lancaster University Management School

Thursday 7 May 2009
1200-1330

In this workshop, I will provide a few disclosures about what I believe is the (largely absent) interpretive work involved in producing positivist findings. The paper analyzes the changes in attitudes, behaviour and biomedical outcomes across 3 patient groups using alternative eHealth systems. A few implications from these interpretive disclosures for both interpretive and positivist research are considered.
