Abstract
In this editorial we discuss issues relating to gaining quality data from individual and focus group interviewees. The primary strength of qualitative research is its potential to explore a topic in depth (Carlsen & Glenton 2011). Qualitative research is epistemologically grounded in social constructivist, symbolic interactionist, or other interpretive conceptual frameworks, or perspectives. It can traverse a range of information gathering and analysis methods, which have an impact on how participants are selected, and when data collection should stop.
