Assignment 1
Working as a Certified Nursing Assistant in Health Care Plus, my job role has always been assisting registered nurses in various medical cases. Therefore, I have not have any opportunity so far to be a part of any focus group research project. Since there is lack of personal experience as a focus group for research, my idea of it are solely based on the literature reviewed and on the experience of other persons. Focus group research can be defined as a method, in which group of small number of targeted consumers discuss their point of view on the product and its presentation such as marketing and packaging (Barbour, 2017). Survey-based research can be defined as the method, in which targeted population is surveyed about the product using techniques such as questionnaire (Rosenberg et al., 2016).
Different methods are used for different settings because focus group use small group of people and discussion or interviews are easy to conduct, whereas survey-based use the large set of populations so it is impossible to conduct interview or discussion on such an extent. The use of questionnaire or feedbacks by targeted population is helpful to read and derive out the conclusion. Survey-based is cost effective in compare to the focus group research method. Focus group research is a qualitative method of research, which helps in giving ideas to improve the product or services. On the other hand, survey-based research is a quantitative method of research helps in getting honest review on all aspect of product from large number of populations. 
Assignment 2
Quantitative research method has played important role in improving the quality of health-care product and services. As suggested by Khankeh, Ranjbar, Khorasani-Zavareh, Zargham-Boroujeni and Johansson (2015), qualitative research method is based on the other person’s experience. It has been considered as subjective due to lack of facts. There are many challenges faced by researchers engaged in qualitative research method. The most important is choosing of population size, formation of set of questions, and identifying of the research problem. The group of people chosen for the research are so random that there are no proper set of rules or criteria for the selection of the subject. 
The time involved in research is often of short duration.
