Using Qualitative Research Methods for Disability Research in Majority World Countries

Abstract

This article undertakes to explore the use of qualitative methods in relation to disability research and disability classifications, drawing on medical, social and educational perspectives. It reviews what qualitative research entails, what skills are required to carry it out and why and when it should be used. It gives examples of on-going research in majority world settings and describes what quantitative researchers can learn by engaging in the qualitative paradigm. It concludes by summarising suggestions for a way forward.
