Designed to make qualitative research skills accessible to practitioners with little or no previous training in social sciences, the handbook describes methods of gathering, reviewing and interpreting qualitative information, by using a variety of sources and methods to produce effective, reliable andtrustworthy data. Using case studies from Africa and Asia involving field personnel working in water supply, sanitation, and health/hygiene education projects, the handbook was developed as a practical answer to the limitations of using a single method or instrument for information gathering.  Alternatives to questionnaires are proposed, including a variety ofmethods and tools that can be mixed and matched; appraisals of individual methods and tools to help in the selection of the most appropriate combinations for the desired purpose; and a useful selection of common mistakes and pitfalls.
