Qualitative research is exploratory. It is used when you have to investigate the reasons behind thinking, ideology and outlook toward a particular research problem. Whereas, Quantitative research is used when you have to quantify the prevalence of a problem or an issue.

Consider, understanding participation in sport among children and adults as an example for quantitative research. Here the reasons why and why not some people participate in sports are explored. For qualitative research, consider, over-the-counter drugs and complementary medicines among Australians. The aim main of this study is to examine self-medication practices among the adults in Australia. Here the study provides numerical data of people using over-the-counter drugs.
