Can you go over analytical approaches again?  Why/when would you choose one theme-based approach over another?  What about grounded theory versus constructive grounded theory?

# data[].attributes.body
Can you talk through what you expect to be covered in the protocol under Data Collection Methods (20 marks).  If you have chosen focus groups for example I can’t see more than 3 points that would be made about this.

How do you decide when you’ve reached saturation in different methods, e.g. focus groups, observation…

# data[].attributes.body
Can you explain when you would use the different qualitative methods such as  grounded theory, constructive grounded theory, interpretative phenomenology, action research, discourse analysis, conversation analysis…

If you choose to include focus groups then do you include a copy of the information sheet you would give the participants beforehand as an appendix? (also same question re topic guides for interviews) If so, would this be included in the word count?

If we choose the second research question for the assessment, should we be choosing a specific healthcare service to be talking about de-adoption, or should we be researching participants opinion on de-adoption of all services?

For the assessment, should we be explaining the theory and underlying concepts behind the decisions we make for our protocol, given that we have a lot of words and it is an assessment, or should we just focus on writing a protocol that we would find in 'real life'?

Do you have to specifically state something about reflexivity in your write up/comment that you have been reflective - e.g. what your stand point was/things that might influence your analysis - or is it just recognised that reflexivity is part of the process? Hope that makes sense.

With the topic ideas, do we have to do that exact title e.g. decision-making in prostate cancer screening, or can our research question be anything to do with prostate cancer?

It’s just a general question, what is difference between a qualitative research and a clinical trial research

# data[].attributes.body
while writing the sampling and recruitment process, do we need to mention the possible bias that can occur due to those methods?

I have found a section of an example protocol that would be relevant to my own assignment. Am I able to take this and reference it as it is as I am struggling to write it differently myself to say the same thing?

Hi, do we need to write our protocols in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic? So for example should we be talking about video conferencing on the assumption that we may not be able to do interviews/focus groups in person?

# data[].attributes.body
Is it okay to use the abbreviation PSA in the title to make it snappier? - As long as we have used the full Prostate Specific Antigen in the main body of text

# data[].attributes.body
When discussing study design, is it appropriate to discuss why we decided not to use certain qualitative methods if they were not deemed appropriate for the study.

# data[].attributes.body
What are you expecting to see in the background section as the kind of thing I would plan to write is basically the paragraph you provided us n the introduction to the assessment?

# data[].attributes.body
do we need to include 2 methods of qualitative research? such as interviews and focus groups? or 1 method is okay?

# data[].attributes.body
With sampling, if we want to say we are going to sample X number of participants, from Y number of CCGs (as an example) should we explicitly name some CCGs, or is it sufficient to state the requirements we have of the CCG for them to be included in the study?

Would you like us to give a time frame we expect to do data collection/analysis over? thanks :)

Do we need to include an abstract in our protocol?
