There are several methods for collecting qualitative data:
Interviews: These can be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured. They provide detailed personal insights and experiences related to health issues. Focus Groups: Small group discussions led by a moderator. These discussions can reveal community attitudes and perceptions about health topics. Observations: Researchers observe behaviors and interactions in natural settings. This method helps in understanding the context in which health behaviors occur. Document Analysis: Reviewing existing documents, such as medical records or policy documents, to gather insights.
