| Summary: | In this case study, I describe in detail two main aspects of my research project in which I conducted longitudinal qualitative multi family member interviews with expectant and new parents. The first aspect involves planning the research design, as it combined multiple design elements, which I liken to pieces of a puzzle. I discuss the decisions I made regarding conducting longitudinal qualitative interviews while also involving multiple family members. The second aspect I describe involves the practical lessons I learned in doing this type of research, especially because my research timeline revolved mainly around an event that was out of my control: the birth of a baby. I discuss the challenges I faced with recruiting and retaining participants for a longitudinal multi family member study. I also discuss the ethical dilemma I faced in preserving participants' confidentiality. I encourage other researchers to consider these issues when planning their own research projects. |
