Audiotaped data was transcribed into Microsoft Word for Windows.
All paperwork, documentation, internet and audiotaped data will be treated with confidentiality.
After transcribing from audiotapes, the data were collapsed to reflect the responses of participants from each focus group to each of the 6 questions asked.
The interviews were audiotape, transcribed and data coded independently by the two authors (KR, AA) and two students (AN, EL) using a thematic approach.
Triangulation was achieved through field notes to capture observations not captured in the audiotapes, thereby gathering data from more than one source to ensure comprehensiveness [ 17, 22, 23].
Data were audiotape recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using Thematic Analysis as outlined by Braun & Clarke, 2006 [ 15].
An audiotape was used for data collection during the interviews, and a videotape and field notes were used to record the subjects' non-verbal language or incomplete or sarcastic expressions.
All data were audiotaped using either digital audio-recorders or audiocassette recorders.
The Ateso audiotapes of all the data collection processes were transcribed following standard guidelines [ 35, 36] into English, scrutinized, and categorized by a bilingual speaker.
The qualitative data was audiotaped and notes were extracted from these tapes by BL after consultation and methodological consensus with CS. (Different aspects of this and other data have been reported in Lloyd and Stirling [ 34]).
