有有限的经验证据成员检查，一个长期的定性研究技术，建立有效性。我进行了直接的内容分析的民族志数据详细的过程和结果的“对话”成员检查方法，我在斯威士兰农村实施。它涉及10名参与者，检查他们作为参与性健康研究的共同研究人员的参与和赋权结果。这个过程涉及参与者在四个反复出现的阶段：独立思考，听证会的结果，评估结果，并谈判最终陈述。它通过增加丰富的描述性数据和建立参与者对我的发现的同意程度来增加结果的可转移性和准确性（“交易”有效性）。它具有解放性的成果（“转型”有效性），包括发展批判性的理解，影响研究轨迹，为参与者“发声”，并建立更公平的研究者-研究者关系。进一步发展，实施和评估递归，对话的方法可以推进成员检查作为一种技术，提高“整体”的有效性，在定性健康研究。
There is limited empirical evidence about member checking, a long-standing qualitative research technique for establishing validity. I conducted directed content analysis of ethnographic data detailing the process and outcomes of a "dialogic" member checking approach I implemented in rural Swaziland. It involved 10 participants, checking results about their participation and empowerment as co-researchers in participatory health research. The process involved participants in four recurring stages: thinking independently, hearing findings, appraising findings, and negotiating final representations. It increased the transferability and accuracy ("transactional" validity) of the results by adding richly descriptive data and establishing the extent of participant agreement with my findings. It had emancipatory outcomes ("transformational" validity) including developing critical understandings, influencing the research trajectory to "give voice" to participants, and establishing more equitable researcher-researched relationships. Further development, implementation, and appraisal of recursive, dialogic approaches can advance member checking as a technique for enhancing "holistic" validity in qualitative health research.
