Research Design Qualitative And Phenomenology (...

RESEARCH DESIGN: Qualitative – Phenomenology (interpretive approach) Selecting a qualitative research design best suits the outline of our intended study. As we are wanting to investigate the perceived harms of e-cigarettes by users and non-users this design will compliment the data we are looking to obtain. Within the qualitative design we have selected phenomenology as our specific design. The object of this study is to focus on the beliefs and experiences of the participants. This will be accomplished through the phenomenological research design. An interpretive approach will allow the researcher’s an opportunity to draw conclusions and gain a further understanding of the individuals experiences related to e-cigarettes. SAMPLE – The quota sampling strategy will be used in selecting a sample group. This was chosen based on having two different study groups, each having different exclusion criteria. The inclusion criteria for all participants in the study will have two components. Each participant must be a student at the Algonquin College Waterfront campus and between the ages of 18 and 25 years of age. This criteria was selected based on the principles of feasibility and availability. Exclusion criteria will differentiate the two groups into e-cigarette users and non users. E-cigarette users are defined as participants who engage in the use of e-cigarettes 3-5 times daily. Non-users are defined as participants who have not used e-cigarettes in their lifetime.Show MoreRelatedHow Culture Impact On Saudi Arabian Women s Perception Of Survivorship Following Treatment For Breast Cancer2180 Words   |  9 PagesThis chapter presents the methodology and research methods used to explore how culture impacts on Saudi Arabian women’s perception of survivorship following treatment for breast cancer.
