From biomedical, public health, and educational research, to studies in the behavioral, computational, and social sciences, effective qualitative data analysis plays a critical role. Accurate and reliable coding using computers is central to the content analysis process. For new and experienced researchers, learning advanced project management skills adds hours of struggle in trial-and-error sessions. Experienced coders and project managers can deliver the data you need in a timely and expert manner. For this reason, we have created the Qualitative Data Analysis Program at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. Watch a narrated overview of the QDAP approach.
