Dear Researchers
i have conducted 2 focus groups that are part of my doctoral study. i am interested to know how should i interpret the discussion of both groups considering i have summarized the outcomes of both groups. please guide me through.
kindest regards
David L Morgan
When it comes to analysis, focus groups are no different from other kinds of qualitative interviews. I suggest you look into some of the standard approaches to qualitative analysis, such as Thematic Analysis or Content Analysis.
