Qualitative Health Research Series Webinar 4: Philosophy in qualitative health research.

The aim of this webinar is to alleviate fears and confusion around philosophical dimensions of qualitative research. How do we approach reality or knowledge differently in different paradigms? What implications does this have for our research, and how do we choose the most relevant paths for our qualitative studies?
