We aimed to get at the scope of women’s lived experience in inheriting the mutation from their father through 56 in-depth interviews, and in doing so unearthed a distinct difference between this group and those inheriting from mothers: reactive versus proactive experience.

Edited by Sharlene Hesse-Biber and R.
Burke Johnson
The Oxford Handbook Multi and Mixed Methods Research Inquiry is designed to offer a range of innovative knowledge building perspectives and methods tools with the goal of enchancing new ways of asking and addressing complex research question. She is co-developer of the software program HyperRESEARCH, a computer-assisted program for analyzing qualitative data, and the new transcription tool HyperTRANSCRIBE.
It has been statistically theorized that women inheriting the mutation from their father are more likely to have more advanced forms of cancer and other serious health repercussions, but why is this? Every chapter concludes with a glossary, discussion questions, and useful Web resources.

We conducted a mixed methods study that starts with an online survey of 457 BRCA+ females followed by 57 in-depth qualitative interviews.
This issue explores advances in understanding mixed methods in philosophical, theoretical, and methodological terms and presents specific illustrations of the application of these concepts in evaluation practice. The author puts the research problem at center stage, showing how mixed methods designs can fruitfully address different types of research questions.
In addition, our study found that proactive decision-making pathways brought significant psychological benefits in BRCA+ women’s responses the test results as measured by MICRA.

What makes the difference between a BRCA-positive women’s experience of her predisposition when inherited from her father as opposed to her mother?
She is also editor of the Handbook of Feminist Research: Theory and Praxis,which was selected as one of the Critics’ Choice Award winners by the American Education Studies Association and was also chosen as one of Choice Magazine’s Outstanding Academic titles for 2007. Those daughters who inherit the genetic mutation from their father are genetically tested later in life and are more prone to being diagnosed with cancer and then tested.
She illustrates the discussion with examples of mixed methods studies from a variety of disciplines and qualitative approaches (interpretative, feminist, and postmodern).
