Introduction to qualitative data and analysis methods
There are a variety of data collection methods in qualitative research. The results of a qualitative data collection and analysis can provide rich and complementary information to the results of a quantitative study or literature review. For example, through qualitative data collection and analysis, one can understand the perspectives of patients or clinicians about the effectiveness and safety of a health technology or intervention.

Introduction to qualitative research
Qualitative research makes it possible to explore aspects of an issue that numbers cannot reveal. Indeed, numbers sometimes have limitations in translating or explaining the factors conditioning certain aspects of a social phenomenon (e.g. adherence to a drug treatment).

Organisational participatory research
Participatory research involves conducting research WITH participants rather than ON them. These participants are therefore research partners. Rooted in the work of Kurt Lewin on action research and Chris Argyris on organisational learning (action science), organisational participatory research (OPR) is a form of participatory research where the research partners are academics and members of the organisations involved. OPR combines quantitative, qualitative or mixed research methods with action to improve healthcare practices, services and policies.
