September 2026 Qualitative Research Interest Group (QRIG) Meeting: “Effective Presentation of Qualitative Research Results

The Qualitative Research Interest Group (QRIG) is an interprofessional group united by an interest in qualitative approaches to health research. Qualitative researchers at MaineHealth Institute for Research and the Center for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente Northwest co-host the group. All are welcome. The group meets via Microsoft Teams on the fourth Thursday of every month. Feel free to forward this to anyone you know who may be interested in attending and/or joining the QRIG.

On September 24, from 3:30PM-4:30PM (EST), Carmit McMullen, PhD, and Mike Kohut, PhD, will lead a discussion about effective presentation of qualitative research results. Qualitative researchers publishing in health-oriented journals often include participant quotes in tables, but this minimizes the impact of participants’ direct statements in telling the story of our findings.

The QRIG September meeting will showcase several articles that are models of successfully integrating participant experiences into the presentation of results in a manuscript.

If you are not already a member of QRIG and would like to join us in September and/or learn about future meetings, please email Carmit.McMullen@kp.org.

You can also join the CTSI Qualitative and Mixed Methods listserv for updates on trainings, events and new opportunities.

___________________________________________

Looking to enrich your research by gathering information directly from patients, clinicians, community members, and others? Tufts CTSI’s Qualitative and Mixed Methods Service can help.

The Tufts CTSI Qualitative and Mixed Methods Service supports researchers, community members, and others in using qualitative and survey methods in health-related research. We are here to help you go beyond numbers alone by integrating interviews, focus groups, observations, and surveys to generate insights that can improve health and health care.

Researchers, community members, and others affiliated with a Tufts CTSI partner organization can request support by submitting a service request.

  • Initial consultations of up to 10 hours are provided at no cost.
  • For more extensive consultation, we can join research teams (FTE portion).

To learn more, please submit a service request.
