USING DATA TO SUPPORT YOUR POSITION ON THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA

Data expressed in numerical terms, counted, or compared on a scale. Examples: Number of arrests for possession of marijuana Number of people admitted to treatment Number of states that have legalized medicinal marijuana

Data that is non-numerical data rich in detail and description Examples Student use surveys Focus groups One-on-one key informant interviews

Antidotal is information gathered based on casual observations or indications rather than rigorous or scientific analysis Examples Stories Personal observation

Hierarchy of Data 1. Quantitative Data 2. Qualitative Data 3. Anecdotal Data **** Use all three!!!!
