Question:
I am a doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati currently enrolled in a Qualitative Research course and an Action Research course. I'm working on an assignment to locate resources about obtaining appropriate samples for qualitative research related to health and education. What are the best resources for best practices related to sampling?
Answer:
Dear Dee,
I would suggest readings from Patton and Creswell. The most appropriate sampling method will depend on the type of qualitative analysis you plan to do and the research question.
