Abstract:

This paper presents the rationale for the choice of participants in qualitative research in contrast to the probability sampling principles in epidemiological research. For a better understanding of the differences, concepts of nomothetic and ideographic generalizability, as well as those of transferability and reflexivity are proposed, Fundamentals of the main types of sampling commonly used in qualitative research, and the meaning of the concept of saturation are mentioned. Finally, some reflections on the controversies developed in recent years on various paradigmatic perspectivas from which to conduct qualitative research, their possibilities of combination with epidemiological research, and some implications for the study of health issues are presented.
