Qualitative Research cover

This document was developed to guide qualitative interview research done with Native Hawaiian kūpuna (elders). Qualitative interview research involves interviewing participants and analyzing resulting transcripts to understand concepts, opinions, and experiences. It is a powerful way to gain in-depth insights into a phenomenon and can generate new ideas for research.
