Article Synopsis
- Interviews are essential in health professions education but can be challenging in engaging diverse participants and gathering rich data. Elicitation techniques, such as participant photography and neighborhood walks, can enhance these interactions and address these challenges effectively.
- The study conducted an integrative review of literature, resulting in a comprehensive analysis of 293 relevant citations that discuss various elicitation techniques for improved qualitative interviews, along with a framework for researchers to choose appropriate methods based on their specific interview challenges.
- By utilizing specific elicitation techniques, researchers can improve data richness and participant empowerment by shifting dialogues away from entrenched narratives, addressing sensitive topics, and ensuring equal interaction opportunities for diverse populations.
Introduction: The Nominal Group Technique (NGT) is a consensus group method used to synthesize expert opinions. Given the global shift to virtual meetings, the extent to which researchers leveraged virtual platforms is unclear. This scoping review explores the use of the vNGT in healthcare research during the COVID-19 pandemic.

- Observational studies are essential for understanding health inequities, but it's unclear how well they report equity-related factors in their design and analysis.
- The authors reviewed 16,828 articles from 2020 to 2022, selecting 320 studies to analyze their focus on populations facing inequities and data collection methods.
- Findings showed that while many studies acknowledged health equity, only a small percentage effectively reported key design aspects related to equity, indicating a significant gap in the methodology of health equity research.
