Calling for qualitative health studies.

Since the beginning of sociology and social sciences, the discipline has constantly perfected and sophisticated its research design on the topics and phenomena of interest, together with refining the data collection techniques. What is relatively novel in recent decades, is the inclusion of qualitative methods in the inquiry on problems relating to the health of individuals and populations [1]. The reason for this integration is that many, if not all, health problems are intricate and multifactorial. Positivistic methods make it possible to determine and quantify health problems, their distribution in populations, as well to establish correlation or causality of factors. The shortcoming, however, is that they do not necessarily provide a thorough understanding of people’s experiences, which are of interest to public health in all of its domains [2].
