Biography

Timothy C. Guetterman, PhD, is an interdisciplinary, applied research methodologist specialized in mixed methods research. His methodological interest is to advance rigorous methods of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research, particularly strategies for integrating and intersecting qualitative and quantitative research. As a methodologist, Tim works across disciplines and internationally with collaborators. Much of his research is at the intersection of health and education or aims to improve health services. Funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), he investigates informatics technology to improve health communication and education. Tim is also actively engaged developing research methods capacity through foundation grants and the NIH Mixed Methods Research Training Program for the Health Sciences. He recently co-authored the sixth edition of Educational Research: Planning, Conducting, and Evaluating Quantitative and Qualitative Research, with John W. Creswell, adjunct professor. The textbook is available now from Pearson(link is external).
