Training on Qualitative Research with Tara McCrimmon
How to uncover the depths of human stories and understand hidden behavioral motives?
Qualitative research is a tool that enables the uncovering of nuances in thoughts, beliefs, and motivations, relying on interviews, observations, and text analysis within their natural context. This method can serve as a valuable first step for subsequent studies, as it leads to the development of well-tested hypotheses.
We invite you to a unique online training on qualitative research, which will benefit researchers, sociologists, psychologists, public health professionals, students, and anyone keen to delve deeper into human behavior. Under the guidance of an experienced expert, you’ll master both theoretical foundations and practical skills—from data collection through interviews and focus groups to advanced analysis techniques. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned professional, this program will equip you with tools to work with real-life cases and address complex social issues.
