Qualitative research

Understanding Society has established links with qualitative longitudinal research and needs to facilitate mixed methods research. 

Opportunities in the following areas will be pursued:

• A range of qualitative sources, including unstructured interviews, biographies, audio and video diaries and other forms of visual evidence
• Free text from structured questions
• Platform for linked qualitative studies
• Structured diary data
• Experimental data   

Understanding Society now offers data users and researchers the chance to collect data beyond the survey questionnaires. This addition to the study provides the opportunity for new and innovative cross-disciplinary and mixed method approaches. Further details can be found on the Associated Studies pages.
