A project was funded to evaluate the effectiveness of health service delivery in three remote Aboriginal communities in the NT. The qualitative component of this project required interviews with both Aboriginal community members (as users of the health services) and health professionals delivering services in the communities. Community consultation (with stakeholders from the community and health service) was undertaken and ethics approvals gained prior to commencing data collection.
Two researchers conducted the interviews. One of the researchers had longstanding relationship with all three of the communities and good relationships with many community members. The other was new to the NT but was an experienced qualitative researcher (with expertise in health services research).
Discuss some of the factors that may influence the quality of this research, including some of the ethical considerations. Provide some examples of what you may do to ensure rigour in this project.
