Description
Summary:This case study sheds light on two methodological challenges that arose during the course of a PhD project examining how parents of children with life-threatening allergies navigate and manage their child's diagnosis on a day-to-day basis. First, there were particular challenges working with an institutional review board to ensure that security and privacy issues were appropriately addressed for a study using electronic recruitment and data collection methods. Second was the ability to obtain detailed data with abstract concepts while using electronic data collection methods. Such challenges led to the consideration of the applicability and value of non-traditional methods for the completion of qualitative research.
