Thanks Samuel. And well done everyone for completing the second virtual seminar.
I wanted to add something that links to the lecture this week…… posts tended to pick up on both qualitative and quantitative research, with quite a few of you interested in surveys and keen on closed questions. These seemed sensible approaches for the research questions you were asking. However, as you know, the rest of the module is going to focus on qualitative research and ways of studying health and illness (e.g. communication in consultation, people’s experience of illness) in more depth. The lecture this week (Topic 4) is looking at illness experience using qualitative research which should help to make this clearer.
