Abstract
This handbook provides a concise introduction to qualitative research methods for social work and related social and behavioral sciences. It is intended as a resource for graduate level students, for others who are beginning to embark on qualitative research (QR), and for instructors of introductory level graduate courses on QR. The handbook includes lecture presentation outlines with brief explanations, assignments, an example syllabus, and guidelines for designing QR projects, and for writing qualitative research proposals and final reports. It discusses alternative paradigms for QR featuring empowerment-oriented approaches, rationales for using qualitative methods, procedures to support rigor and trustworthiness of research, advice for linking QR to a scholarly career path, and preparation for human subjects protection. The handbook provides a sample of data collection and analysis products to illustrate construction of an audit trail. Examples of QR projects highlight topics related to spiritual diversity.
