New on the Impact in #QualitativeResearch blog: developing a core outcome set for survivors of human trafficking that centres their needs www.quahrc.co.uk/impact-in-qu... #ResearchMethods #ResearchImpact #Qualitative

Highly recommended, this was SO interesting on the sheer scale and nature of this research participant fraud but also had some very useful discussion about how to avoid it/deal with it.

There are still spaces for our Introduction to Ethnography in Healthcare course. Find out more in the link below 👇 @quahrc.bsky.social

Imposter participants are a disturbing possibility in research, and something our PhD students in the Department of Gerontology recently asked me about. Interesting talk on the subject here.
