NVIVO for Computer Assisted Analysis of Qualitative Health Research Data
This workshop style course will cover basic principles of qualitative methods, focusing on how to use NVivo software to support analysis. Qualitative research is the systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of nonnumerical data (such as text, video, or audio) to answer research questions. NVivo, software made by QSR International, is often used to support the analysis of qualitative data. Graduate students, health professionals, and trainees in clinical, population, public, and community health interested in, or planning to use, NVivo to support their analysis of qualitative health research data will benefit from this course. The class includes NVivo-focused instruction and practice, and completion of a final project using a provided data set and associated research questions.
Prerequisites & course information
Weekly hours: 1 Lecture hours and 2 Practicum/Lab hours Prerequisite(s): An introductory graduate level qualitative research course: CHEP 822.2 and 824.2, or PSY 809.3, JSGS 851.3, ERES 845.3, ENVS 814.3 or permission of the instructor. Restriction(s): Dept: Community Health and Epidemiology. Note: This course is part of a suite of skills-focused short courses offered by the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology that build on content and theory delivered in full 3.0 cu graduate research methods courses. Completion of several of these 1.0 cu skills courses is not a suitable substitute for a single 3.0 cu research methods program requirement as they do not provide the theoretical or substantive depth expected at a graduate level.
