I conducted a semi-structure interview with individuals from 40 hospitals in the state. In these interviews, I ask 10 questions about whether or not they're engaging in specific LGBTQ-related equity efforts (e.g. Is staff trained in LGBTQ-related topics? Are you making efforts to hire individuals who identify as LGBTQ?)
I am doing Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) with these data to determine what conditions (e.g. hospital type, funding, location of hospital, town/city political leaning, etc.) might lead to more or less LGBTQ-related equity efforts in a hospital.
QUESTION: Some of the interviews had to be cut short for various reasons (e.g. interviewee's child needed help, interviewee got an important phone call, etc.) If I did not prompt them with all of the questions, how do I determine membership score for the case? For instance, if I prompted 8 of the 10 questions and they said "yes, we are doing that" to 6 of the 8 prompts, would the score now be 6/8 (.75) instead of 6/10 (.6)? Is there a precedent for dealing with missing information in fsQCA?
Thank you in advance for you help
