Qualitative Ethical Considerations

While new designs are being developed and refined, you should understand that a basic set of qualitative research designs includes phenomenology, grounded theory, case study, ethnography, or narrative.

• Describe what qualitative design would most effectively address your research question.
• Provide a 250–300 word write-up of a possible qualitative design.
• Describe the ethical considerations involved in obtaining a sample. Be sure to consider the need for anonymity and confidentiality and for preventing a conflict of interest.
