For this assessment task, you will choose a research topic and present a plan for a qualitative
study to address the topic chosen.
The research plan presentation must include the following components:
1. Background: discuss the background for this qualitative study and provide a justification for
why the research is needed (supported by high quality contemporary literature
2. Research Question: state a qualitative research question on the selected topic that clearly
identifies the study population and phenomenon of interest.
3. Study Design:
• Describe an appropriate methodology to address the research question for this
qualitative study.
• Describe the study population, eligibility criteria, study sample, sampling method and
recruitment
methods for this qualitative study.
• Describe what methods you will use to collect and analyse the data for this qualitative
study
4. Study limitations and rigour: discuss the rigour/trustworthiness and limitations for this
qualitative study
5. Ethical Considerations: Discuss the ethical implications for this qualitative study including
vulnerable populations (such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples) where applicable.
This is to be supported by high quality contemporary literature and relevant state, or national
research polices.
6. Conclusion: Summarise the key points and reaffirm the significance.
Further instructions and an assessment template can be found below.

Presentation Components:
1. Introduction and Background (2 minutes)
Introduce your research topic and provide the background for your qualitative study. Discuss why the research is needed,
supported by high-quality, contemporary literature. Your presentation should cover:
• The context of the study
• The research setting
• Sociocultural or clinical influences
• The population of interest
• Why research in this area is essential
Ensure you provide a justification for the study that highlights its significance.
2. Research Question (1 minute)
Clearly state your qualitative research question. This should:
• Identify the study population
• Specify the phenomenon of interest
• Use appropriate qualitative research terminology
Make sure your research question is well-formulated, with a focus on the “what” or “how” aspect of your chosen
phenomenon.

Discuss the ethical considerations of your study. Focus on:
• Vulnerable populations (such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, if applicable)
• Recruitment and consent processes
• Risk vs benefit analysis
• Privacy and confidentiality
• Data storage and de-identification
Use contemporary literature and relevant research policies to support your discussion.
