Introduction
Qualitative research methods are now a major methodology used in healthcare research – largely because of a more widespread recognition of the value of gaining knowledge about ‘how events look and seem through the eyes of those involved in them’. The most common research techniques used in qualitative designs are individual and group interviews.
Key learning outcomes
• The appropriate use of different ways of collecting verbal data.
• The design of materials for one-to-one interviews and focus groups.
• The conduct of one-to-one interviews and focus groups. • Maximising the quality of data collected.
