AG Qualitative Research Methods

The Working Group Qualitative Research Methods is a forum for collegial exchange and joint work on methodological questions and problems in the application of qualitative methods in health services research. It was founded during the 7th DKVF in Cologne in October 2008. Its 40+ members meet at the annual German Congress for Health Services Research and online throughout the year. Several subgroups are continuously working on specific topics related on qualitative research methods in health services research (see publications).

Current speakers are Dr. Angélique Herrler (University Hospital Düsseldorf), Dr. Milena von Kutzleben (University of Oldenburg) and PD Dr. Nadine Pohontsch (University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf).

New members are generally welcome in the working group, but active participation is a prerequisite. Anyone interested in joining the working group or a specific subgroup can contact Dr. Angélique Herrler (Angelique.Herrler@med.uni-duesseldorf.de), Dr. Milena von Kutzleben (Milena.von.Kutzleben@uol.de) or PD Dr. Nadine Pohontsch (n.pohontsch@uke.de).
