Coding framework

Template analysis, a form of thematic analysis, was chosen as the primary data analysis approach for this project. Template analysis, follows six steps: 1) familiarisation, 2) preliminary coding, 3) organisation of emerging themes, 4) defining an initial coding template, 5), applying initial template and modifying as needed and 6) finalising the template and applying it to the full data set.

This coding template was originally developed in a Word document and was then entered into NVivo once the research team had reached agreement.
