Dear Janet and list
From a rather different angle, you may find it useful to know that our
database of personal experiences of health and illness - www.dipex.org -
is a free resource, based on rigorously conducted qualitative research
studies of experiences of different conditions. Each study draws on a
maximum variation sample of 40-50 interviews, and the website uses video,
audio and written clips from the interviews to illustrate the analysis of
themes emerging from the data. These clips can be immensely powerful when
used for medical teaching, and we are looking to develop specific teaching
packages over the next couple of years on topics such as decision-making,
understanding risk, and patient-professional communication.
