Instructions to facilitator<br />

The aim of this section is simply to introduce participants to qualitative research and provide <strong>the</strong>m<br />

with <strong>the</strong> opportunity to practice <strong>the</strong> appraisal of a qualitative study.<br />

Due to copyright restrictions, you will need to locate and print <strong>the</strong> required reading for this session<br />

(<strong>the</strong> reading should also be emailed to participants one week prior to <strong>the</strong> course).<br />

The qualitative study uses <strong>the</strong> Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist for Qualitative<br />

research. The aim of <strong>the</strong> exercise is for participants to become familiar with <strong>the</strong> checklist provided.<br />

Do not let participants get swayed into conversations that do not relate directly to <strong>the</strong> task at hand.<br />

It is better for participants to complete <strong>the</strong> checklist than to get caught up on one particular<br />

question.<br />

*** Note: If this workshop is to be run in its current format participants will need to be advised that<br />

<strong>the</strong>y must read <strong>the</strong> critical appraisal paper “DiCenso A, Guyatt G, Griffith WL. Interventions to<br />

reduce unintended pregnancies among adolescents: systematic review of randomised controlled<br />

trials. BMJ 2002;324:1426-34” before <strong>the</strong> afternoon of <strong>the</strong> second day. Remember, you will need to<br />

obtain copies of this article, as copyright restrictions prevent <strong>the</strong> reproduction of this article.<br />

** Feel free to choose critical appraisal studies which are more relevant to your audience.<br />
