Abstract: Research methodologies employed in family policy research are examined. Using three emerging concepts in family policy analysis—life status transitions, informal economic behavior, and stress mediation—recent policy research concerning low-income families is critically reviewed for its methodological adequacy. It is suggested that by integrating qualitative research methods into quantitative designs, the overall quality and cost-effectiveness of policy-relevant family research can be significantly improved. The implications of this suggestion are examined in the closing section of the article.
