Qualitative Data Insights
There are numerous ways to present qualitative research results. However, there are important considerations that must be addressed in providing insights from the results of a qualitative project, which include the reason for the presentation, the audience, preferred format (online, poster, book, etc.), and considerations on the structure of the information. Each of the reasons will differ according to the type of presentation you are required to provide.
Evidence-based Recommendations
What is it? Evidence-based recommendations provide contextual information on how to apply qualitative research findings in practical ways. Although evidenced-based quantitative recommendations are used more popularly in healthcare and other practice-based setting, qualitative research results can provide rigorous accounts of participant experiences that may not be gleaned from statistical results.
Evidence-based recommendations present a summary of qualitative findings in a variety of ways to inform decision-making:
- Decision tables
- Models and flowcharts
- Participant narratives
- Images of settings
- The arts
With the goal to provide immediate application, our consultants can help you develop concise evidence-based recommendations from qualitative projects to inform important decisions and strategic planning that are grounded in rigorous research methods.

Delphi is appropriate when a researcher needs to gain a consensus from experts on a topic of interest.
Delphi study requires three or more rounds of collecting data from experts on a topic. A project can take 3 or more months.
Availability and access to participant-experts will inform the number of participants. Some Delphi studies recruit as much as 1000, while some have a panel of 7 experts.
Each generic qualitative research design is unique due to the diverse elements from a variety of qualitative research designs. The number of participants may be one or more than 25.
The grounded theory is an iterative process. Thus, the length of the study will depend on the number of participants, time spent on the analysis at each iteration, and recruitment process. It is not likely to complete a grounded theory in less than 3 months.
