This intensive course is designed to introduce novice and intermediate survey researchers to the integration of qualitative methods into survey research. Guided by the literature on mixed methods research, the course will present various motivations and strategies for blending qualitative components into a quantitative study. Students will be introduced to a variety of qualitative methods and the ways each approach can complement a survey, including focus groups, in-depth interviews, asynchronous research, cognitive testing, open-ended survey questions, and multiple methods used across a single study. Through case studies and collaborative exercises, students will explore the potential contribution of each method, as well as the benefits of combined methods to advance and understand specific research questions. Practical considerations will be covered, including study design, sampling, recruitment, data collection, analysis, and integration of qualitative findings into survey reporting. This course is designed for those with a specific research question in mind, as participants will be asked to design multi-method approaches to a research question of their choice. By the end of this course, participants will understand the role qualitative research can play in survey research and how to design and implement a qualitative phase in a multimethod study.
