使用选定的标准来确定使用定性方法的可信度，实现严格性一直没有关键的评价。在这篇文章中，战略，如长期的参与和厚，丰富的描述;负面的案例分析;同行评议或简报;澄清研究人员的偏见;成员检查;和，调查员三角测量和intercoder可靠性评估的适当性在非洲裔美国人阿巴拉契亚农村人口。在生活在农村社区的参与者中使用定性方法实现严格性是时间密集型的，需要注意访谈中花费的时间的质量与数量，建立信任关系，了解访谈者的偏见和假设，并适当评估提高有效性的策略。在定性方法中实现严格性的策略不应被用作一刀切的方法，因为这种做法实际上可能会降低严格性。在代表性不足的人群中，应调整战略或根本不使用战略。
Achieving rigor using selected criteria to determine trustworthiness using qualitative methods has been without critical evaluation. In this article, strategies such as prolonged engagement and thick, rich description; negative case analysis; peer review or briefing; clarifying researcher bias; member checking; and, investigator triangulation and intercoder reliability are evaluated for appropriateness among an African American Appalachian rural population. Achieving rigor using qualitative methods among participants living in rural communities is time intensive requiring attention to quality versus quantity of time spent in interviews, building trusting relationships, an awareness of interviewer bias and assumptions, and appropriately evaluated strategies that enhance validity. Strategies to achieve rigor in qualitative methods should not be used as a one size fits all approach as this practice might actually diminish rigor. Among underrepresented populations, strategies should be adapted or not used at all.
