Qualitative Analysis of Focus Group Audio-recording Transcripts. Open Coding Using Content Analysis Framework Will be Utilized to Assess Positive Regard for the Intervention and Potential Intervention Adaptations.
Time Frame: Through study completion approximately 3 months
Qualitative data gathered from participants during focus group participation. Focus groups will be audio-recorded and transcribed. Transcribed audio-recordings will be qualitatively analyzed for positive regard for the intervention and opportunities and recommendations for further intervention adaptation. Open coding using content analysis framework will be utilized for qualitative analysis.
