    Qualitative research uses purposive sampling to select information-rich cases that provide insight and depth of understanding. Common sampling strategies include extreme or deviant case sampling, intensity sampling, heterogeneous sampling, homogeneous sampling, snowball sampling, and opportunistic sampling. Researchers employ triangulation through multiple data sources, investigators, and methods. Ethical practices require voluntary participation, confidentiality, informed consent, and respect for all people.

    Sampling in Qualitative Research

    Considerations in sampling
     Purpose of qualitative research
    Produce information-rich data
    Depth rather than breadth
    Insight

     Conceptual rather than numerical considerations


    Choose information-rich sites and respondents
    Common sampling approach
     Purposive sampling
    Not haphazard / not random
    Select information-rich cases
    Purposive Sampling Strategies
     Extreme or Deviant case sampling
     Information rich cases that are unusual (e.g. In Search of
    Excellence)
     Intensity sampling
     Excellent examples of the phenomenon of interest but not
    highly unusual/deviant cases
     Heterogeneous sampling
     Sample people with diverse characteristics to see whether
    there are common patterns (FGD)
     Homogenous samples
     Describe a particular sub-group in depth
     Typical case sampling
     To describe and illustrate what is typical to a particular
    setting
     Snowball sampling
     Through informants identify others who know a lot about
    the issue
     Opportunistic sampling
     Taking advantage of on-the-spot opportunities
     Convenience sampling
     Doing what is fast an convenient
    Triangulation
     Combination of methodologies in the study of
    same phenomena
    Data triangulation (use of variety of data sources)

    Investigator triangulation (the use of several different


    investigators)

    Methodological triangulation (use of multiple methods


    to study a single problem)
    Characteristics of good qualitative researchers

     Comfortable with ambiguity

     Comfortable with a range of methodological possibilities


    and a range of interpretations

     Have a instinct for data

     Have a tendency to seek patterns

     Are able to live with long periods of boredom


     Have a keen sense of timing, particularly in interviews

     Are able to establish rapport with others

     Are compassionate

     Are excellent listeners

     Aren’t easily embarrassed or judgmental

     Are extremely well-organized

     Are good writers who can describe phenomena clearly


    and in interesting detail
    Ethics for Qualitative Research
    ethical principles

     Inform fully about the purpose, methods


    and intended possible uses of the
    research, what their participation in the
    research entails and what risks if any, are
    involved.

     The confidentiality of information and


    the anonymity of respondents must be
    respected.
    ethical principles
     Participants must participate in a voluntary way,
    free from any coercion.
    Exceptionally, covert research may be acceptable.

     Individuals must agree to participate in the research


    of their own free will

     participants understand that their participation is


    voluntary and that there are no consequences for
    refusing to take part in the study or to answer
    specific questions.
    ethical principles
     Researchers and their work must respect the rights, dignity
    and worth of all people.

     In their work, researchers must be respectful of the rights of


    others to hold values, attitudes, and opinions that differ from
    their own.

     The independence of the research must be clear; any


    conflicts of interest or partiality must be clear
