Description: Title: APA Qualitative Research SIG: An opportunity to network, collaborate, and enhance qualitative research skills

Session

Description:
We are looking forward to our Qualitative Research SIG meeting to continue to build community, increase research skills, and build collaborations to enhance the qualitative research occurring in pediatrics. We will have a formal networking session for our SIG members to gain an understanding of how qualitative research may better inform their current research work and to initiate research collaborations. We will review common data collection strategies with a focus on the use of interviews and focus groups and provide practical guidance for developing interview/focus group guides through a skills-building session. Objectives and agenda follow:

Objectives:
1. Foster networking and research collaborations between members of the Qualitative Research SIG
2. Describe common data collection strategies in qualitative research, including how to choose between focus groups vs one-on-one interviews
3. Discuss key steps in developing interview guides for focus groups and one-on-one interviews

AGENDA

1. Introduction (10 minutes)

2. Business meeting: Discuss next year events, leadership, workshops for 2025 (15 minutes)

3. Networking/collaboration (30 minutes) to meet other SIG members. Potential groupings might include:

4. Didactic (15 minutes): Discuss common data collection methods (choosing between one-on-one interviews and focus groups, and provide guidance in developing interview guides).

5. Skills activity (20 minutes): Lead a skills activity related to developing an interview guide.
