It was based on the theory of experiential learning where knowledge, attitude and behavior must be sequentially overcome. Twentyseven HACCP team members from four food processors participated to assess barriers to guideline adherence. Non-awareness to HACCP guideline was a major barrier. The national government was recognized as key source of HACCP information. Commitment to adopt HACCP guideline was established. Also, the need for food processor management to understand that teams must be multidisciplinary to ensure guideline adherence has been established.

Yet despite wide dissemination and scientific support of its principles, successful HACCP implementation has been limited. There has been very little in-depth consideration of the reasons behind this, and qualitative psychological research examining the interplay of factors involved is almost non-existent. For this study therefore, four in-depth narrative interviews were carried out with small business owners attempting to implement HACCP. Non-prescriptive analysis of their interviews was carried out, and this revealed five key themes acting as 'barriers' to successful implementation. These were of HACCP as difficult, burdensome and unnecessary, and hindered by staff and external problems. The analysis showed furthermore the complexity of issues underpinning problems with HACCP implementation and the way in which they operate at knowledge, attitude and behavioural levels. From this, essential issues to be addressed in order for successful HACCP to be achieved are put forward.

Within general practice Collings is remembered not for his contribution to research methods but for the revival of the specialty. At the same time (doubtless because it was published in a medical journai) his study has been neglected by historians of social research. As a result, Collings has failed to attract the consideration he deserves as a pioneer of British ethnography. I thank the anonymous reviewers of an earlier draft of the manuscript for their constructive criticisms.

The first major section considers the role of research methods in each of these approaches. This discussion then provides a basis for comparing qualitative and quantitative research as the two traditional alternatives in social science research. The third section examines the specific strengths of various qualitative and quantitative methods and illustrates how these strengths can be used in mixed methods research. The final section considers the situation of mixed methods research as a newer and thus less fully developed approach to doing social science research. Overview
