Critical Appraisal of Qualitative Studies

Estimated time to complete : 3–4 hours

Qualitative studies can provide insight into how or why interventions are or are not effective and about the experiences and perspectives of individuals, groups or populations. This module guides you through the different types of qualitative study designs and how they are used. It also explores how to assess whether the findings can be applied in your own practice.

To access this module, you will need to log in with a free National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools account.

Your NCCMT account will also provide you access to a personalized dashboard that helps you navigate to various NCCMT resources, track your progress as you work through available training opportunities, save evidence syntheses and publications, and build your own toolkit to match your evidence-informed decision making needs.
