Is every qualitative study a case study? After all, it is almost always a matter of researching a small number of people around a specific topic? For example, an evaluation study of a leadership program in which people who took part in it are interviewed, or a study of the reception of queer children's literature among kindergarteners, would it be correct to claim that the type is a case study?
If so, then when is qualitative research not a case study?
I am willing to accept that every qualitative study is a case study, but I also think that there is a special category of qualitative research that consists of case study research. Most often, this kind of case study involves organizations or communities. Good sources on this method are by Stake and Yin.
Case report is qualitative study but every qualitative study is not case report
