A section examining the main theoretical sources drawn on by qualitative researchers.
A section on specific techniques for the collection of data.
A section exploring issues relevant to the strategic place of qualitative research in health care environments.

The Sage Handbook of Qualitative Methods in Health Research is an invaluable source of reference for all students, researchers, and practitioners with a background in the health professions or health sciences.
