Several factors should be considered before choosing research instruments, including the
purpose of the research, type of research outcomes, methodology, resource availability, and
audience expectations. It is important to consider each factor sequentially. The purpose of the

methodology (qualitative, quantitative, or multiple methods) best suited for addressing the
outcome. Finally, resources and audience expectations should be taken into account as one
prepares to choose a specific research instrument.
