Using focus groups in medical education research: AMEE Guide No. 91.

Medical teacher

Stalmeijer RE, Mcnaughton N, Van Mook WN.
PMID: 25072306
Med Teach. 2014 Nov;36(11):923-39. doi: 10.3109/0142159X.2014.917165. Epub 2014 Jul 29.

Qualitative research methodology has become an established part of the medical education research field. A very popular data-collection technique used in qualitative research is the "focus group". Focus groups in this Guide are defined as "… group discussions organized...

A simple formula for the calculation of sample size in pilot studies.

Journal of clinical epidemiology

Viechtbauer W, Smits L, Kotz D, Budé L, Spigt M, Serroyen J, Crutzen R.
PMID: 26146089
J Clin Epidemiol. 2015 Nov;68(11):1375-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2015.04.014. Epub 2015 Jun 06.

One of the goals of a pilot study is to identify unforeseen problems, such as ambiguous inclusion or exclusion criteria or misinterpretations of questionnaire items. Although sample size calculation methods for pilot studies have been proposed, none of them...

Code Saturation Versus Meaning Saturation: How Many Interviews Are Enough?.

Qualitative health research

Hennink MM, Kaiser BN, Marconi VC.
PMID: 27670770
Qual Health Res. 2017 Mar;27(4):591-608. doi: 10.1177/1049732316665344. Epub 2016 Sep 26.

Saturation is a core guiding principle to determine sample sizes in qualitative research, yet little methodological research exists on parameters that influence saturation. Our study compared two approaches to assessing saturation: code saturation and meaning saturation. We examined sample...

Sample size for pre-tests of questionnaires.

Quality of life research : an international journal of quality of life aspects of treatment, care and rehabilitation

Perneger TV, Courvoisier DS, Hudelson PM, Gayet-Ageron A.

PURPOSE: To provide guidance regarding the desirable size of pre-tests of psychometric questionnaires, when the purpose of the pre-test is to detect misunderstandings, ambiguities, or other difficulties participants may encounter with instrument items (called «problems»).METHODS: We computed (a) the...

Sample size calculations for stepped wedge trials using design effects are only approximate in some circumstances.

Trials

Hemming K.
PMID: 27146064
Trials. 2016 May 04;17(1):234. doi: 10.1186/s13063-016-1359-4.

UNLABELLED: Estimation of sample size and power for stepped wedge cluster randomised trials can be determined by one of a number of related methods. These include exact analytical approaches, design effects or simulation. A recent paper compared the design...

Big data

Barfar A, Padmanabhan B.
PMID: 28328251
Big Data. 2017 Mar;5(1):32-41. doi: 10.1089/big.2017.0013.

In a recent article by Barfar and Padmanabhan (2015), we demonstrated how television viewership data could predict presidential election outcomes in the United States. In this article, we examine predictive models using a snapshot of Nielsen's national data on...

A myriad of methods: calculated sample size for two proportions was dependent on the choice of sample size formula and software.

Journal of clinical epidemiology

Bell ML, Teixeira-Pinto A, McKenzie JE, Olivier J.
PMID: 24439070
J Clin Epidemiol. 2014 May;67(5):601-5. doi: 10.1016/j.jclinepi.2013.10.008. Epub 2014 Jan 16.
