- Authors
Reeves, Scott; Lewin, Simon; Zwarenstein, Merrick
- Abstract
The article discusses the paper by DiCicco-Bloom and Crabtree which provides a valuable overview of the methodological advantages of employing qualitative interviews as an approach to data collection. The authors suggest that qualitative interviews are important in generating rich, in-depth data that promote understanding of complex social, behavioral and educational issues. The paper and other contributions in the "Making Sense of Qualitative Research" series show the growing use and acceptability of qualitative methodologies within the medical education community.
