In order for qualitative research to
make a significant contribution,
advocates of this approach must
demonstrate its ability to address
questions of relevance and
proponents of EBM must rethink
their ideas as to what may
constitute a research question

Good qualitative research is
characterised by congruence between
the perspective (or paradigm) that
informs the research questions and
the research methods used.

In an involving research
environment
Patients/citizens are key source for identifying
research questions
The questions you ask will be influenced by
your values & beliefs about involvement
The research questions must be congruent to
the purpose of the inquiry & methodology
The questions must be salient to the
patients/citizens
