The key informant technique.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE This article considers the role of the key informant technique as a qualitative research method and examines the potential contribution of the approach to health care research. METHOD The principles underlying the technique and the advantages and disadvantages are considered, illustrated with examples from a range of social science studies. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION An...
متن کاملMeasuring informant discrepancies in clinical child research.
Discrepancies among informants' ratings of child psychopathology have important implications for diagnosis, assessment, and treatment. Typically, parents and children complete measures (e.g., self-report checklists, diagnostic instruments) to assess child dysfunction. Ratings gathered from these sources reveal relatively little agreement on the nature and extent of the child's social, emotional...
متن کاملHigher professional education for general medical practitioners: key informant interviews and focus group findings.
BACKGROUND If higher professional education (HPE) for general practitioners (GPs) is to be implemented, then key stakeholders will need to be supportive. AIM To investigate stakeholders' beliefs about the concept of HPE, its funding, and relationships to education and care. METHOD Interviews were conducted using a topic guide with a health authority (HA) representative, the Local Medical Co...
متن کاملRenormalization group maps for Ising models in lattice gas variables
Real space renormalization group maps, e.g., the majority rule transformation, map Ising type models to Ising type models on a coarser lattice. We show that each coefficient of the renormalized Hamiltonian in the lattice gas variables depends on only a finite number of values of the renormalized Hamiltonian. We introduce a method which computes the values of the renormalized Hamiltonian with hi...
متن کاملTeaching and Learning in Small Groups
In recent decades, there have been numerous attempts to define precisely what is meant by small group teaching. Many writers argue that small group teaching method is among the most difficult and highly skilled of teaching techniques, in which in addition to the primary objective of teaching students to think, the tutor must have a number of subsidiary objectives if the small group is to functi...
