Table 4 Concerns by role

From: Conducting a team-based multi-sited focused ethnography in primary care

Focused ethnographers (study researchers)

 • Question whether we are doing enough justice to the rich observational data

 • Worries related to own relative contribution to the project, am I doing enough?

Leads of ethnographic team (two co-investigators)

 • Nature of role is to be involved in several projects at any one time, this can make it difficult

 • to stay on top of the data collection process.

 • Data management and analysis involves processing large amounts of information and data and the volume can feel overwhelming.

Wider team (chief investigator and three co-investigators)

 • Feel a lack of control in project, less ‘hands on’ than in previous work

 • Involvement of other projects
