Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7   EBP 0912 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Key Informants

Captions available

The idea

Key informants are members of the group who help the researcher understand the setting from the inside.

In practice

A long-serving staff member explaining why something is done the way it is.

Where people slip

An informant is a guide, not a spokesperson. What they explain is their view of the culture.
