Abstract
Rapid ethnographic assessment is a qualitative approach to data collection used to identify factors that contribute to poor health outcomes, and make recommendations for improving health services. Interview guide development within a rapid ethnographic assessment is often a team-effort, reflecting the vision and priorities of multiple stakeholders. It is a crucial step in qualitative inquiry in which much of the quality of data depends. This workshop will focus on key lessons learned in interview guide development for rapid ethnographic assessments, as well as practical fieldwork strategies for incorporating and negotiating the priorities of multiple stakeholders. Participants will gain knowledge and skills to guide each step of interview guide development, and ascertain what information their stakeholders really need and which line of inquiry may hinder the collection of rich data. In this workshop, participants will learn how to 1) Understand the purpose, structure and components of a qualitative interview guide; 2) Explore techniques to incorporate multiple stakeholders’ vision and priorities into an interview guide; 3) Craft answerable interview questions, and identify key issues around question development; and 4) Describe methods of piloting and revising a field-ready interview guide. In each section, we will use participatory learning activities to build core skills.
