Qualitative Research in Health and Illness provides a highly accessible, pragmatic approach to conducting qualitative research in the health fields, including nursing, health studies, public health, medical sociology, and medical anthropology. Targeted toward novice researchers, Jessica Smartt Gullion aims to provide tools to address common scenarios that will arise in professional practice. Although engaging enough to read cover to cover thanks to the real-life examples offered, this book would also make a good research methods textbook that instructors could draw from piecemeal as suited their course needs. Highly recommended.
