Description
This workshop provides insights into the main non-probability sampling methods available for qualitative research looking at both their advantages and disadvantages. It explores the paucity of explicit discussion across the social sciences regarding the number of qualitative interview participants deemed sufficient. Focussing on the use of interviews, the workshop will offer recommendations regarding the reporting of the number of sample size, alongside considering saturation and offering tentative ranges regarding the number of interview participants that are likely to be considered sufficient in different contexts.
