This workshop is an advanced 'how to' designed for those interested in doing qualitative research from a community-based perspective (focus groups, interviews, participant observation, etc.) Sometimes people think that doing qualitative research is easier than quantitative research, because there are no statistics involved. However, managing qualitative data can be an equally difficult and overwhelming task. We will explore how to design open-ended questions, manage qualitative data, and do collaborative data analysis.

Participants Will Learn:

  • some important jargon associated with qualitative research
  • how to develop interview guides and sampling strategies
  • tips for gathering and managing 'good' data (e.g. recording, transcribing, note-taking, qualitative software, etc)
  • about collaborative analysis through a 'hands-on' exercise
  • approaches for presenting qualitative data effectively

Who Should Attend:

  • community members & practitioners interested/involved in developing qualitative research projects
  • researchers interested in collaborative qualitative data analysis
