Concerns by role

Focused ethnographers (study researchers)

• Question whether we are doing enough justice to the rich observational data

• Worries related to own relative contribution to the project, am I doing enough?

Leads of ethnographic team (two co-investigators)

• Nature of role is to be involved in several projects at any one time, this can make it difficult

• to stay on top of the data collection process.

• Data management and analysis involves processing large amounts of information and data and the volume can feel overwhelming.

Wider team (chief investigator and three co-investigators)

• Feel a lack of control in project, less ‘hands on’ than in previous work

• Involvement of other projects
