Prolonged engagement is the investment of a sufficient amount of time to collect data about a study population to achieve an in-depth understanding of the phenomenon. In this example the researcher spent 12 months interacting with study participants to explore the lived experience of the women. Persistent observation refers to the collection of specific data relevant to the phenomenon under investigation. Reflexivity refers to the awareness and personal experience and insight that the researcher brings to the study. Data triangulation refers to the use of multiple sources to draw conclusions about what constitutes truth in the data.
