Popular in its first edition for its clear delineation of the issues and the way it prepared readers for Doing Qualitative Research, particularly in health settings, this new second edition will show readers new ways of knowing, how to ask questions at multiple system levels (from global to family to the cell) and the incursive interaction between these levels, and ways to expand existing research approaches.
New to this edition is more on various collection methods as well as more detail on the interpretive process. Chapters are written by a gifted researchers, many of whom are also clinicians, who define their topic, reveal themselves and the context of their discussion, define the key themes and processes, provide interesting descriptive examples, explore theory, recognize the importance of culture, and share their excitement of discovery.
Organized to follow the structure of the qualitative research process, the book begins with an overview of how to decide what methods to use based on aims, objectives, questions, and paradigms of knowing. New, sampling issues and options are highlighted followed by comprehensive coverage of such topics as participant observation, key information interviewing, depth interviews, focus groups, the interpretive process, detailed descriptions of actual analyses using different analysis organizing styles, and the use of computer software for qualitative data management that includes a detailed demonstration of two particular programs, NUD*IST and FolioViews.
The last sections of the book covers specific qualitative designs that are relevant to primary care research, a summary of our present understandings concerning standards in qualitative research, and the role of qualitative research in the future of primary care research.

"The strengths of this book are many. Of particular note is the first chapter, in which Miller and Crabtree present a road map or research methods. They identify five styles of inquiry, ranging from experimental to philosophic, based on the focus and intent of the research. In further evaluation, they then match research aims and analysis objectives with these styles. This clear and succinct discussion not only helps put the various research styles in perspective but also helps one to see the relationship between the aim of the research, analysis objectives, research question(s), and style. . . ." * Qualitative Health Research *

Benjamin F. Crabtree, PhD, MA is a medical anthropologist and Distinguished Professor in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health, Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. He is a full member of the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey in the Cancer Prevention and Control Research Program. Ben earned his masters degree in applied anthropology from the University of South Florida and his doctorate in medical anthropology from the University of Connecticut. Prior to his current appointment, Ben was on the faculty of the departments of family medicine at the University of Connecticut and the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Ben has collaborated on many in-depth interview and focus group studies where hes learned to appreciate the experiences of illness and health care from the perspectives of both clinicians and patients. Bens recent research focuses on quality of health care delivery, primary medical care practice organization, and organizational change. He has been principal investigator on five National Institutes of Health R01 grants that used qualitative methods and mixed-methods for enhancing quality of care in primary care practices. His current National Cancer Institute R01 grant engages diverse stakeholders in identifying actionable, practice-based activities for provision of long-term breast cancer survivorship care using depth interviews and then implements and evaluates an intervention for delivering care for breast cancer survivors in primary care. Ben has contributed to more than 225 peer-reviewed journal articles and numerous book chapters, and served as co-editor on two books, Doing Qualitative Research and Exploring Collaborative Research in Primary Care. In 2014, Ben and co-author Will Miller were jointly awarded the prestigious Curtis G. Hames Research Award for lifetime contributions to family medicine research. Ben volunteered twice with the United States Peace Corps, first in the Ethiopian Smallpox Eradication Program and then in the Korean National Tuberculosis Program. He completed his dissertation research in Korea conducting a mixed-methods study of rural birthing practices in the face of modern medicine. He and his wife Eiko travel extensively in Japan and enjoy talking long walks and gardening.
William L. Miller, MD, MA is a family physician anthropologist and Chair Emeritus at the Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), Department of Family Medicine in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and a Professor of Family Medicine at the University of South Florida Morsani School of Medicine for which LVHN serves as a branch campus. Will earned a masters degree in medical anthropology from Wake Forest University and received his medical degree from the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. After completing his family medicine residency at Harrisburg Hospital, Will entered private practice in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania where he honed his craft for four years. Prior to joining Lehigh Valley Health Network as the first Leonard Parker Pool Endowed Chair of Family Medicine, he was on the faculty in the Department of Family Medicine at the University of Connecticut.
Will has been aptly nicknamed coyote for his propensity for pushing the envelope, not only as an organizational leader, teacher, and clinician, but also in his research focused on observing, implementing, and evaluating NIH-funded national primary care practice improvement efforts along with investigations of healing relationships and the clinical encounter, collaborative care, and professional socialization. Some of this work has focused on how primary care practices respond to new innovations in care, with one of the outcomes being the development of the relationship-centered Practice Change Model. He was founding consulting editor for the Annals of Family Medicine, served a co-editor on two books, Doing Qualitative Research and Exploring Collaborative Research in Primary Care, and received, along with Ben Crabtree, the 2014 Curtis G. Hames Research Award for lifetime achievement in family medicine scholarship. He was an advisor and evaluator for the American Academy of Family Physicians Future of Family Medicine National Demonstration Project of the patient-centered medical home and the American Board of Family Medicine-funded national family medicine residency redesign initiative. His special joys are family, getting lost in the woods with his grandson, cross-country skiing, and music.
