Qualitative data collection (online)

This one-day course will be offered via Zoom only. There will be a 1 hour lunch and (2) 10 minute breaks (1 in morning and 1 in afternoon). Attendance is required as it will not be recorded.

Course Summary:

This 6-hour course provides a general introduction to qualitative data collection methods, with an emphasis on applications within public health. We will examine the two most commonly used qualitative data collection methods – in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus groups (FG). Supplemental qualitative data collection activities will also be covered. Course structure includes lecture, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises. Examples will include both domestic and international research contexts.
