Locate five research articles in academic journals that present qualitative research that is relevant to a single topic of research. (The articles need not be on exactly the same topic, but they must be relevant.)
Note the details on data collection for each article, including (as relevant) the number of key informant interviews, time spent in the field, type of field research (e.g., participant observation), number of focus groups, and composition of focus groups. This information should be identifiable in the methods section of the article.
Note the key findings of each article, as stated in the abstract (or in the absence of the abstract, in the findings section of the article).
For each article, discuss the limits to generalizability of findings based on the field research. How has the researcher (or researchers) dealt with this problem?
Complete a 2-3 page report on your findings.
