Title
Qualitative data

A way of describing phenomena in a non-numerical way. Some of the major categories of qualitative data are: in-depth interviews, direct observations, and written reports (Trochim and Donnelly 2006). While quantitative data are essential for measuring results and gauging impact (Bertrand and Escudero 2002), qualitative data can provide a more nuanced understanding of results.
