Summary:

Though there are many good books on community-based research in psychology and many on methodology, this is the first to focus on methodologies for analyzing community-level data, and to illustrate step-by-step how to carry out such analysis. Psychologists from the US and Britain explain pluralism and mixed methods, methods involving grouping of data, methods involving change over time, and methods involving contextual factors.
