研究委员会、机构和研究人员认识到以团队为基础的健康研究的好处。然而，参与大规模团队研究项目的研究人员在寻求识别认识论和本体论共同点时面临着多重挑战。通常，这些挑战发生在定量研究人员和定性研究人员之间，但也可能发生在定性研究人员之间，特别是当项目涉及多个学科视角时。作者在他们的多学科研究项目中使用聚合访谈技术来克服这些挑战。这种技术帮助他们发展共同的认识论和本体论基础，同时实现快速和详细的数据收集和分析。虽然趋同访谈是一种相对较新的方法，主要用于市场研究，但它与基础理论和其他技术进行了很好的比较和对比。作者认为，这一过程为构建和完善研究项目提供了一种严格的方法，并要求研究人员确定并负责发展共同的认识论和本体论立场。
Research councils, agencies, and researchers recognize the benefits of team-based health research. However, researchers involved in large-scale team-based research projects face multiple challenges as they seek to identify epistemological and ontological common ground. Typically, these challenges occur between quantitative and qualitative researchers but can occur between qualitative researchers, particularly when the project involves multiple disciplinary perspectives. The authors use the convergent interviewing technique in their multidisciplinary research project to overcome these challenges. This technique assists them in developing common epistemological and ontological ground while enabling swift and detailed data collection and analysis. Although convergent interviewing is a relatively new method described primarily in marketing research, it compares and contrasts well with grounded theory and other techniques. The authors argue that this process provides a rigorous method to structure and refine research projects and requires researchers to identify and be accountable for developing a common epistemological and ontological position.
