- If you work in pharmaceutical or healthcare marketing research long enough eventually you will do research in sensitive areas like sexual health, mental health conditions, substance abuse, domestic violence, discrimination, financial hardship, political opinions, and religious beliefs. However, topics such as these can also pop in in other research when we least expect it. Let’s gather for a virtual coffee chat to share what we have learned and how we have handled these situations. Hopefully we all leave with some new way of not only helping our respondent but also ourselves.

- Short Description:
- Like the broader society in which we operate, qualitative research seems designed for and by extroverts. This is true in both the experiences of the research participants and qualitative research practitioners. Recent studies have shown introverts are often more thoughtful, analytical, and reflective people and as such are potential sources of insight, subtlety, and nuance. Our industry and the users of our research cannot afford to exclude the unique contributions of introverts. This session will be interactive and personal. Whether we’re an introvert, extrovert or somewhere in between, we will learn about our own personalities and working styles. We will also take a close look at qualitative research itself.

- As we head into the 2024 U.S. presidential election, political research will be front and center, with qualitative research playing a key role in uncovering the “why” behind voters’ views on candidates and issues. In this Qcast, we’ll take a look under the hood of political focus groups with Rich Thau, moderator of the Swing Voter Project. We’ll see and hear from Rich about how he conducts and reports on his monthly focus groups with swing voters. He’ll discuss tips and learnings from his years of moderating these focus groups, including how he maintains his cool when discussing highly emotional topics. For qualitative researchers, the Swing Voter Project is a rare opportunity to watch a colleague conduct focus groups. Attendees will come away with a greater understanding of the process and learnings that can be applied to other types of research.

We have a wealth of information right within our organization, and one of the things we do best is share our knowledge. The needs of both ends of the experience spectrum vary and we can each learn from each other! We're hoping to cross pollinate and elevate all QRCs with multiple quick topic areas, Q & A, and discussion with these amazing panel members!

- One of the greatest assets a research team can utilize is their own community of participants. Communities allow researchers to recruit from their own pool of curated participants. Communities allow brands to fully-control the experience their customers have when participating in research. Communities also allow agencies to save cost on recruitment all while recruiting from a trusted source that they have full control over. Communities are one way we can fix our data quality problem.

- In this session, Frankie will share on behalf of the Insights Association's IDEA Council what to consider when asking about gender identity and sexual orientation for qualitative recruiting and respondent engagement. Often we are going with the default when asking about a person's identity, which can be disaffirming or misaligned to how they identify and negatively impact their research experience with us. The IDEA Council has been working on a collaborative industry initiative to shed light on asking demographic questions inclusively and thoughtfully, and these are the results.
