This authoritative collection provides a practical and
comprehensive introduction to team-based qualitative research. The
authors are social scientists and health researchers with extensive
experience in this rapidly expanding field. Qualitative research
has become increasingly interdisciplinary and team oriented. The
transition away from the lone-researcher approach to collaborative
and inter-institutional research creates new challenges for
designing and implementing qualitative research. The authors use
examples from both American and international studies to show how
working in teams affects research design, project management, data
analysis, and the presentation of research findings. The book
offers numerous approaches and methods for making team research
more efficient and enhancing the quality of research findings
throughout all stages of the research process. Topics covered
include: project design and preparation; logistics; research
ethics; political dimensions of collaborative research; data
collection; transcription and data management; codebook
development; data reduction and analysis; monitoring and quality
control; and dissemination of results.

After collecting qualitative data from in-depth interviews, focus
groups, or field observations, students and researchers often
struggle to make sense of it. This step-by-step guide draws on the
authors' many years of experience carrying out qualitative research
and conducting trainings on the subject. Their book describes how
to analyze qualitative data in a systematic and rigorous way. The
authors introduce and outline applied thematic analysis, an
inductive approach that draws on established and innovative
theme-based techniques suited to the applied research context.
Chapters follow the sequence of activities in the analysis process
and also include discussions of mixed methods, choosing the most
appropriate software, and how to write up and present the results.
"This book presents what all of the books I've tried to use in the
past have failed to present-how to analyze qualitative
data."-Catherine C. Schifter, Temple University "This book does a
wonderful job of explaining how important thematic analysis is for
producing good research, and it uses rich and detailed examples to
do it."-Matthew Hartley, University of Pennsylvania
