Data collection methods can include:
Quantitative vs qualitative data
The studies used as examples throughout this website primarily collect quantitative data, but there are a number of cases where qualitative data is collected as well. For examples of qualitative information collected as part of longitudinal studies see Qualitative information.
The UK is also home to some completely qualitative longitudinal studies. More information about qualitative longitudinal studies can be found via the Timescapes website.
You can learn more about the methods longitudinal studies use to collect information from participants from the Study Design module.
