This field guide is the creation of all the authors. However, we especially recognize Cynthia Woodsong as its originator and inspiration. It is she who began crafting training materials during the course of her many public health projects in field sites far and wide, as she sought to prepare teams for the immediate while equipping them with skills to collect data for other research proj- ects in the future. During these training experiences, she perceived a recurring need to provide field teams with foundational, practical information on qualitative methods, presented in a form that was self-contained, tangible, and easy to consult during the action moments of data collec- tion. Dr. Woodsong built upon her repertoire of need-to-know training materials with each suc- ceeding project. In turn, these materials, many of which she developed with funding from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, have provided the bulk of the substance for the present field guide. Too,Dr. Woodsong’s vision for capacity building in developing country settings remains our collective vision for this field guide. We would also like to recognize the conceptual contributions of Betsy Tolley and Lorie Broomhall. Their emphasis on the importance of allowing for individual approaches to preparing research teams for data collection served as a reminder that a practical field guide should not portend to be a training curriculum in and of itself. Rather than a replacement for hands-on interaction between trainers and data collection teams, we intend our guide to be a useful supplement for each team member as they learn and use qualitative methods in the field. Reviewers Betty Akumatey of the University of Ghana, Legon, and Joy Noel Baumgartner of FHI merit our sincere thanks as well. Their candid evaluations helped us measure our goal of developing a functional tool against the reality of whether it worked in the field. We thank also Beth Robinson for her encouragement, enthusiasm, and technical and personal support from the start of this project to its finish. Thank you to Larry Severy for his all-round backing of the proj- ect. Merrill Wolf, editor, is due thanks for the manuscript’s organization and flow, as is Karen Dickerson, copyeditor and designer, for her great attention to detail and consistency. Illustrations are credited to Denise Todloski. Kerry McLoughlin graciously stepped in at a moment’s notice to provide assistance with the case study examples. And Lucy Harber, our gentle, smiling produc- tion manager, was indispensable in ways immeasurable for bringing the project to fruition. This guide was made possible by funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). We extend our gratitude for their unwavering support
