  • The article introduces novice researchers to fundamental qualitative techniques, covering key questions, common methods, sampling, data collection, analysis, and ways to maintain rigor.
  • A case example demonstrates these methods in action through a study on implementing a mental health care model for women Veterans with anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
