This paper discusses the use of qualitative research methods in a study carried out in 1994/95 by an English midwife, in partnership with a Bangladeshi community worker, to explore Bangladeshi women's ex periences of antenatal care in one health district. Practical and ethical issues of access, sampling and informed consent are discussed and the challenges of conducting in-depth interviews and focus groups with this group of women are detailed. The key role of the Bangladeshi community worker as interpreter, gatekeeper and cultural guide is explored. It is suggested that research of this kind, whilst labour intensive, respects cultural diversity and can provide a depth of understanding not obtainable through traditional survey methods.
