This course will demonstrate how qualitative research can be used to address particular trial design and conduct issues, enhance understanding of how qualitative methods can be integrated at various stages of a trial, show how a range of qualitative methods can be used within trials, and facilitate greater confidence in including qualitative research in grant applications for randomised trials. It is not a course on how to do qualitative research but rather a course on how to appreciate its value within trials.
This course aims to illustrate how qualitative research can be used to optimise the design and conduct of randomised trials, particularly pragmatic trials of complex interventions.
The course will cover:
- using qualitative research to address particular randomised trial design and conduct issues;
- integrating qualitative research at various stages of the development and running of a trial;
- how a range of qualitative methods can be used within a trial; and
- incorporating qualitative research in grant applications for randomised trials.
