important barriers and enablers, it may not be enough to find what truly motivates people, including the “big benefits.” Therefore, it can be useful to follow up this approach with focus group discussions or a Participatory Learning and Action activity. (In the section on questionnaire development, however, we will mention a question that you can put at the end of your questionnaire to look into “big benefits”.) Also, using Trials of Improved Practices (TIPS), focus group discussions, Participatory Learning and Action (PLA), and other qualitative methods can be useful for studying enablers and barriers when a Barrier Analysis is not possible due to a lack of Doers. For example, when you are introducing a behavior that is new to an area (e.g., solar water disinfection, use of Zinc), you may not find any Doers at the beginning of the project. Is Barrier Analysis a quantitative method, qualitative method, or both? Barrier Analysis is both qualitative and quantitative. It has open-ended elements that help explore and describe how the two groups think (which makes them qualitative in nature), but it also has quantitative elements (e.g. the statistical comparison of Doers and Doers) that allow us to determine the important differences. Since Barrier Analysis does not measure prevalence of a particular belief, most people do not think of it as quantitative; however, quantitative information is being collected and analyzed (e.g., which group gave a particular response more often).
