Rapid qualitative research in complex health emergencies (RREAL)

This course aims to provide attendees with the skills required to implement rapid qualitative research approaches in the context of complex health emergencies. The workshop will include a combination of interactive lectures, debates, hands-on exercises and self-study. Participants will learn to apply and adapt rapid qualitative methods to health emergencies through critical appraisal of the literature and contemporary case studies. Use of personal topics of interest as it directly applies to the humanitarian system is encouraged. This course will require preparatory reading (to be sent to attendees a few weeks before the course). A suggested list of additional reading materials will be provided at the end of the course for continuing self-study along with a ‘toolkit’ of methodological sources as developed by experts in the field.

This course will be delivered by Dr Ginger A. Johnson.
