What is it about?
Qualitative research provides public health with valuable, complex theories, as well as profound insights into behaviour and experiences of health, disease, and healthcare. Making important contributions to tailoring public health messaging, to nuancing policy development, and to improving programs, more QHR is needed in the postpandemic recovery period and beyond. The health research community is well-equipped to tackle the work ahead: improving the visibility and literacy of QHR articles to provoke new ideas and subsequently, new possibilities in health and healthcare.
