Résumé :
It is an exaggeration, though not an enormous one, to characterize most behavioural research in the addictions as falling on either side of a quantitative/qualitative divide. There are those researchers who favour the use of surveys of preferably randomly selected individuals and statistical methods of data collection, and there are those researchers from the qualitative wing of research who generally eschew such standardized methods in favour of participant observation and face to face interviewing of respondents. I would like to suggest that this divide no longer serves a useful function (if it ever did) and that we should direct our attention to the various ways in which it may be overcome. [Extract]
