The Qualitative Methods Research Toolkit

WELCOME!

The Qualitative Methods Research Toolkit

The development of this Qualitative toolkit (Toolkit) was spearheaded by the Qualitative and Mixed Methods Research Special Interest Group (Q-MM SIG). This toolkit aims to serve as a hub of qualitative research resources intended for educators, clinicians, and research scientists in physical therapy. In the toolkit, you will find annotated lists by topic area that include up-to-date resources such as peer-reviewed articles, textbooks, podcasts, and videos. 

 The toolkit is a living document that will be updated yearly by the Q-MM-SIG Task Force. We value the contribution our uses so if you have a resource that you would to be considered for the toolkit, we encourage you to use the submission form that can be found on each page.
