Abstract

Increasingly qualitative research uses novel and multiple data collection methods, many of which have not been adequately documented or evaluated. This paper reviews the application of qualitative interviewing and emerging research data collection methods (photo voice, digital storytelling, design charrette and poetry) both individually and collectively in contributing to the understanding of home among homeless women. We will describe each method, present example results, comment on its success in contributing to one of the major themes of the study, characteristics of home and offer suggestions to improve the method. Our findings suggest that multiple data collection methods which engage participants in different ways may be suitable for vulnerable populations, as they support participant expression and encourage diverse perspectives. This process could be used in other settings such as public health, clinical practice, or health education.
