Registration is open for the short course Introduction to Qualitative Research Methods taking place 5 to 7 May 2025.

The nature and role of qualitative research in health sciences has been, and continues to be, the subject of debate.

• How are qualitative data and analysis different from quantitative data and analysis?
• How do these different research traditions relate to each other?
• How can we evaluate the reliability and validity of qualitative research?
• Can health researchers grounded in quantitative techniques and positivist epistemologies do qualitative research, and can they do it well?
• What value does qualitative research add to large-scale epidemiological studies or randomized controlled trials?
