CASP recommends asking the following questions when critically appraising a qualitative study:
- What was the selection process and was it appropriate?
- Were potential ethical issues addressed, such as the potential impact of the researcher on the participants? Has anything been done to limit the effects of this?
- Was the data analysis done using explicit, rigorous, and justified methods?
