5. CONFIRMING AND DISCONFIRMING CASES
Identification of confirming and disconfirming case
occurs after some portion of data collection and
analysis has already been completed.
This is the process of selecting cases that either:
serve as additional examples that lend further
support, richness and depth to patterns
emerging from data analysis (confirming cases)
serve as examples that do not fit emergent
patterns and allow the research team to evaluate
rival explanations(disconfirming cases).
This can help the research team understand and
define the the limitations of research findings.
6. Why use this method?
Identifying confirming and disconfirming cases is
a sampling strategy that occurs within the
context of and in conjunction with other
sampling strategies.
Researchers seek out confirming and
disconfirming cases in order to develop a richer,
more in depth understanding of a phenonmenon
and to lend credibility to one's research account.

9. Key informant sample

skills, or position within society.
They can be called as natural observers.
They are interested in the behavior of those

Tittle: Factors in implementing
interprofessional education and
collaborative practice initiatives: Findings
from key informant interviews.
Author: Barker, K. K., Bosco, C., &
Oandasan, I. F. (2005).
Place: University of Toronto Department
of Family & Community Medicine,
Toronto,Ontario, Canada.
Objective: To identify factors associated
with interprofessional education and
collaborative practice initiatives.
12. Participants:
Only 10 English interviews are presented here.
Methodology :
This paper presents the findings from semi-
structured telephone interviews with key
informants conducted as part of the
environmental scan. Interviewing is an ideal
method to collect data on participants’
experiences in various endeavors, for semi-
structured interviews allow the interviewer to use
a written topic guide to ensure that all question
areas are covered, while allowing the participants
to talk freely. This way, what is most important to
the participants can be captured (Polit, Beck, &
Hungler, 2001).
