#  Designing Qualitative Research Instruments

Three Suggestions for Conducting Qualitative Interviews

+ Preparation prior to the interview

+ Choose a setting with privacy and limited distraction
	
--

+ Explain the purpose of the interview, the structure, and about how long it will take
	
--

+ Allow participant to ask questions before you begin
	
--

+ Have some way to record the interview prepared ( ie video, audio, etc )
	
--

+ Consider pilot testing your interview protocol!
	
--

+ Developing effective research questions for the interview

+ Actual interview of the participants

#  Designing Qualitative Research Instruments

Three Suggestions for Conducting Qualitative Interviews

+ Preparation prior to the interview

+ Developing effective research questions for the interview
	
--

+ Open-ended wording
		
--

+ Neutral questions (avoid questions that are judgmental or leading)
		
--

+ Ask questions one at a time – Don’t double barrel questions!
		
--

+ Clear,  easily understood questions
		
--

+ Ask follow up and probing questions as appropriate to learn more about participant’s experiences.
		
--

+ Actual interview of the participants

#  Designing Qualitative Research Instruments

Three Suggestions for Conducting Qualitative Interviews

+ Preparation prior to the interview

+ Developing effective research questions for the interview
	
--

+ Actual interview of the participants
	
--

+ Double check throughout that your audio recorder is still recording!
		
--

+ Ask one question at a time
		
--

+ Try to remain neutral during the interview
		
--

+ Encourage responses with nodding and/or affirmative words
		
--

+ Provide transition between questions “I am now going to ask some questions about a different topic” or “Shifting gears to a different question”
		
--

+ Maintain control of the interview – keep interview on task and relevant to research!

---

#  Developing an Interview Protocol

+ Initial priority is developing a rapport with the participant

+ Communicate the purpose of the research
	
--

+ Review consent form
	
--

+ Begin with broad, general, open-ended questions that are easy for the participant to answer
	
--

+ Ask high-risk questions later in the interview after rapport has been developed
	
--

+ Ensure the questions you are asking will actually answer your research questions!

#  Designing a Qualitative Survey

+ Many of the same points as before!

+ Explain the purpose of the interview, the structure, and about how long it will take
	
--

+ Open-ended wording
	
--

+ Neutral questions (avoid questions that are judgmental or leading)
	
--

+ Ask questions one at a time – Don’t double barrel questions!
	
--

+ Clear,  easily understood questions
	
--

+ Consider pilot testing your survey prior to sending it to your participants!
	
--

+ Ensure the questions you are asking will actually answer your research questions!
	
--

*Next week and the week after we will talk more about making sure surveys meet these requirements!*

#  Being and Becoming a Researcher Activity

---

#  In Your Groups

+ Find a way to record your discussion! I recommend using someone’s phone.

+ Discuss as a group (in an interview-style format) questions on the following slide related to being and becoming a researcher

+ Feel free to deviate from the set questions as appropriate
	
--

+ Listen to the recording individually and begin to generate some initial codes, or things you feel were important parts of your conversation
	
--

+ Discuss your initial codes as a group – Come together as a group to generate some broader codes or themes from your conversation
	
--

+ Be prepared to share your themes and codes with the class
	
--

+ Provide some quotes to use as examples for any codes you all agreed on or any themes you identified.
		
--

+ You do not need to display all of your codes!
			
--

+ You may want to make a 1-2 slide PowerPoint to display your codes and themes.
		
--

.footnote[Note: Record your conversation for about 15 minutes, then begin individual initial coding! Come back to class after ~ 25-30 minutes!]

#  Parts of a Qualitative Manuscript?

+ https://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/features/qualitative-manuscript-guidelines.pdf

+ I will put this PDF in the Slack!
	
--

+ This outlines how to write a qualitative manuscript but is useful for thinking about where to find information in published qualitative research!

#  Ethics in Qualitative Research

+ Informed consent!

+ Researcher/Participant Relationship
	
--

+ Power, Conflicts of Interest
		
--

+ Researcher’s Subjective interpretation
	
--

+ Subjectivity Statements
		
--

+ Protection of Participants
	
--

+ Anonymity, results/narrative not traceable to participant
		
--

+ Pseudonyms
