A case-control study is qualitative. This is because this kind of study is an observational study, meaning that it involves observing how groups differ in their behavior. The word qualitative measures the quality of something rather than the quantity (qualitative), meaning that a qualitative study measures their data through characteristics rather than numbers.
Numerical data is quantitative data.She performed a quantitative study.Using quantitative and qualitative procedures in a study is called a mixed methods study.
A qualitative observation has to do with things you can't count, "The fish has black scales" is a qualitative observation. A quantitative observation has to do with things you can count, "The fish has 125 scales" is a quantitative observation. You can combine these two, an example would be "The fish has 125 black scales."
A qualitative change is a transformation of one thing to a different kind of thing. Making flour out of grain is a qualitative change. A quantitative change is a change in the amount of something. Changing 5 pounds of grain to 2 pounds of grain is quantitative.
Qualitative versus Quantitative has been always fiercely debated in the academic field. It is really what you as the researcher think it is important. There is no right or wrong answer. Until I have taken a qualitative research class at USF I thought that quantitative research is more "scientific" than qualitative research. I thought that qualitative research should be should be done before quantitative research. Well, nothing is sure in this world, and we don't even agree in the notion of objectivity. Since I came to USF I learned to question everything, which I guess it was a good lesson. I was pleasantly surprised by John W. Creswell's book about qualitative research. He also says that qualitative research allows the researcher to study deeply a problem and go beyond the numbers. I started to like qualitative research because it is more flexible, interactive, the research design can be modified and it involves fieldwork (patients should be interviewed in their natural setting). Therefore, a qualitative research can provide a more complex answer to certain problems such as minority and race. For example, can racism be easily answered? No, it calls for a qualitative study because it may involve economical, political, and cultural and gender related problems. I guess journalists mainly use qualitative research if they write a longer and deeper article about topics like race, unemployment, etc. I realize that numbers do not mean always the "whole" picture. I would use qualitative research methods if I want to do a deeper research, if I want to gain a deeper understanding of a problem using multiple views.
The advantage of quantitative research is that you will get more accurate results when comparing results using qualitative research. This type of research uses statistics and mathematical data to learn new things about something.

Using a quantitative sampling method in a qualitative study could result in a lack of in-depth understanding of participants' experiences and perspectives. On the other hand, using a qualitative sampling method in a quantitative study could introduce bias and limit the generalizability of the findings.
qualitative = how good something is quantitative= how much of it there is
Date of birth is Qualitative, but age is Quantitative.
PH is a number, so it is quantitative.
