Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Focus group interviews involve groups of about 5 to 10 people whose opinions and experiences are solicited simultaneously. Photo elicitation involves an interview stimulated and guided by photographic images. Semi-structured (or focused) interviews are used when researchers have a list of topics or broad questions that must be covered in an interview. The critical incidents technique is a method of gathering information about people's behaviors in specific circumstances.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Samples in qualitative studies that include grounded theory, ethnography, and phenomenology are typically small and based on information needs. A guiding principle is data saturation, which involves sampling to the point at which no new information is obtained and redundancy is achieved. In clinical situations, for example, it is often appropriate to let people talk freely about their problems and concerns, allowing them to take much of the initiative in directing the flow of conversation. Clinical trials would not employ the principle of data saturation.
