Summary

Analyzing qualitative research can be done if the right methodology is utilized. Meta-ethnography is grounded in primary research traditions from the social sciences. It is an approach used to generate new theoretical knowledge related to sociological interests and generate new theoretical frameworks rather than aggregate knowledge.
