The third edition is written entirely in their own voices, based on their decades of combined experience in research, teaching, and clinical practice. They are masters, and this book is a master class that cuts through jargon, provides a clear organizing framework for anyone trying to generate new (qualitative or quantitative) knowledge, and shows how to get things done in ways that are grounded in the wisdom of family medicine. The book is threaded with real-world examples based on the authors’ rich experience with qualitative and mixed-methods family medicine and primary care research.
I recommend the third edition of Doing Qualitative Research to investigators and educators at any level who want to understand how new knowledge for family medicine, health care, and health can be generated, communicated, and used to advance health and equity.
Very useful text for education students to sup[port their understanding and application of qualitative research methodologies.
Very useful general introduction
