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. If you have any questions, concerns, comments, criticisms, or ideas for future meetings, please contact michael.kohut@mainehealth.org.
The QRIG will meet virtually on Thursday, May 28, from 3:30PM–4:30PM EST. This month, we will review and discuss a preprint manuscript on vaccine hesitancy by guest host Adina Robinson, PhD, Assistant Professor of Marketing at University of New England. This meeting may be of interest to anyone interested in vaccine hesitancy or publishing qualitative work.
Please contact Carmit McMullen, PhD (Carmit.McMullen@kp.org) to receive the calendar invitation.
