The book offers numerous approaches and methods for making team research more efficient and enhancing the quality of research findings throughout all stages of the research process. The authors use examples from both American and international studies to show how working in teams affects research design, project management, data analysis, and the presentation of research findings. The transition away from the lone-researcher approach to collaborative and inter-institutional research creates new challenges for designing and implementing qualitative research. Qualitative research has become increasingly interdisciplinary and team oriented. The authors are social scientists and health researchers with extensive experience in this rapidly expanding field. This authoritative collection provides a practical and comprehensive introduction to team-based qualitative research.
