PIDLit Goes ‘Qual’ In! An Overview of Qualitative Research Methods

Mini-Methods Talk + In-Class Exercise by Dr. Mandy Swygart-Hobaugh

To prepare students for analyzing Wholesome Wave Georgia’s Food For Health program evaluation data (focus group interviews) and the open-ended questions data from our two food insecurity surveys, the PIDLit course instructors included a curricular unit (one class session = 2.5 hours) devoted to introducing qualitative research and analytical coding, including an in-class exercise on coding an interview transcript.
