Qualitative research

Aspect Quantitative research

Discovery, understanding and inspiration - ‘why’

Purpose Specific questions, test, validate ‘what’

Empathic Approach Measurement

Free-form or semi-structured using design tools and probes

Data collection Rigid structure, pre-categorised

Researcher intimately involved, results subjective

Researcher Researcher detached, results are objective

Small samples, in natural setting

Sample size Large samples to produce generalised results

We recognise the value of qualitative and quantitative research.

About you

Your experience to date

Your interactions

Information

Reflecting

We designed discussion guides to balance depth and breadth.

Page 14: Finding out...what we don’t know

We engaged our interviewees with probes to facilitate the conversation.

Page 15: Finding out...what we don’t know

We used empathy and sensitivity to help interviewees open up on challenging topics.

“At times I am not able to cope.”We met with Londoners in their homes, heard their stories and tried to understand their experiences, needs, and aspirations. This helped them to engage with their experiences, connect with others and consider helpful information and services.

We built paper prototypes to quickly bring concepts to life. 18

Page 19: Finding out...what we don’t know

We built more sophisticated prototypes to carefully test interactions. 19

Page 20: Finding out...what we don’t know

We built accurate prototypes to test use in real situations. 20

Page 21: Finding out...what we don’t know

We validated our concepts with larger groups using google surveys. 21

Page 22: Finding out...what we don’t know

We analysed, measured and ranked the survey results.

Page 23: Finding out...what we don’t know

We helped our partner organisation have multiple, lasting impacts.

Sustained impact…Influencing policy via the NHS maternity reviewInforming the design of national services e.g. NHS.UKThe lasting impact of bringing teams together (Public Health England, NHS Business Services Authority) informing Healthy Start and maternity exemptions. A model for a new way of working.
