Hello Carol You probably have this but if not it may be useful The Use of Vignettes in Qualitative Research Christine Barter and Emma Renold http://sru.soc.surrey.ac.uk/SRU25.html I personally have not experience with this but have used photo-elicitation as a form to stimulate discussion. Sometimes I think what you have to do is to 'go for it'- create a vignette, do a pilot study and see if it needs tweaking. Hope it sort of helps!

[mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Carol Lambert Sent: 16 October 2009 11:00 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Vignettes for discussion prompts in Hello everyone, I emailed previously asking if anyone knows anything about using/devising vignettes, for use in semi structured interview. I want to devise these for use as a discussion prompt for my qualitative study and wondered if anyone had any experience in using these. This is a second call for information as I have had no response at all.
