Greetings!
Can anyone please suggest me any literature that recommends (argues for) conducting FGDs after IDIs? In a qualitative research project I recently conducted, I combined the two methods and mentioned that I conducted FGDs after IDIs simply because I want to explore interesting ideas/concepts that emerged during IDIs. But my reviewer seemed unsatisfied with this reason and told me that the FGDs should have been conducted before the IDIs. So I think backing up my 'argument' with existing literature might help somehow.
With many thanks :-)
I believe that I have mentioned the value of this design in all my books on focus groups going back to 1988.
Take a look at the Qualitative Social Work Journal and do a word search on focus groups and I am sure you will find some relevant article.
