Evaluation of the Feasibility of a Two-Method Measurement Design for the Assessment of Healthy Physical Activity Behavior in Youth
MA, Quantitative, Qualitative, and Psychometric Methods, University of Nebraska–Lincoln, 2018.

The question here was whether that trade is worth making for youth physical activity.
