定性比较分析（QCA）是在25年前发展起来的，旨在弥合定性和定量研究的差距。在检索PubMed和Journal of Mixed Methods Research后，本综述确定了30项使用QCA的原始研究。认为QCA是复杂的，并提供了一些相对于其他方法的优势可能会限制QCA的采用。因此，为了克服这些看法，本文展示了如何使用来自15个机构的数据进行QCA，这些机构实施了通用肿瘤筛查（UTS）计划，以识别遗传性结直肠癌的高风险患者。在这个例子中，QCA揭示了有效的UTS计划所特有的条件组合。结果为进一步的研究提供了信息，并为改善患者在阳性筛查后的随访提供了模型。
Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) was developed over 25 years ago to bridge the qualitative and quantitative research gap. Upon searching PubMed and the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, this review identified 30 original research studies that utilized QCA. Perceptions that QCA is complex and provides few relative advantages over other methods may be limiting QCA adoption. Thus, to overcome these perceptions, this article demonstrates how to perform QCA using data from fifteen institutions that implemented universal tumor screening (UTS) programs to identify patients at high risk for hereditary colorectal cancer. In this example, QCA revealed a combination of conditions unique to effective UTS programs. Results informed additional research and provided a model for improving patient follow-through after a positive screen.
