Collecting Qualitative Data

Is there more to qualitative data collection than face-to-face interviews? Answering with a resounding 'yes', this book introduces the reader to a wide array of exciting and novel techniques for collecting qualitative data in the social and health sciences.

Contributors from a range of disciplines share their experiences of implementing a particular technique, provide step-by-step guidance to using that approach, and highlight both the potential and pitfalls. From gathering blog data to the story completion method to conducting focus groups online, the methods and data types featured in this book are ideally suited to student projects and other time- and resource-limited research. In presenting several innovative ways that data can be collected, new modes of scholarship and new research orientations are opened up to student researchers and established scholars alike.

Nutritional Assessment

This guide to practical dietary, anthropometric, and biochemical nutritional assessment introduces students to the details of standardized protocols while emphasizing the importance of rigorous methodologies. Each receives a comprehensive practical treatment which includes an overview of its relative advantages, limitations, and applicability. Topics include quantitative and qualitative dietary methods and the evaluation of nutrient intakes; the assessment of growth, fat-free mass, and body fat; and the evaluation of anthropometric measurements and reference data from national surveys. Chapters on biochemical assessment deal with specific group nutrients, outlining methods selected for their appropriateness for undergraduate students with limited practical laboratory experience. Interpretive criteria for evaluating the biochemical measurements are included at the end of each method's exposition. This book will be of great use and interest to students studying nutritional assessment in dietetics, home economics, nutritional sciences, public health, and nursing, as well as to health professionals involved in nutritional assessment.
