Overview

QRCA’s November Qcast will feature three qualitative research experts from around the globe (U.S., Netherlands and Spain), as well as the Canadian moderator of this panel.  This fast-paced discussion will cover some of the larger issues, such as the market size, regulatory problems, and product segments, as well as specific qualitative concerns, such as recruiting research participants, handling sensitive topics, and risk exposure.  This topic will be of great interest to North American researchers who will learn how the experience of early-adopting countries might apply to their own country.
