The steps taken in the analysis were: 1) reading the entire data set repeatedly to obtain a sense of the depth of the data, 2) coding each transcript individually, 3) developing themes based on codes, 4) reviewing the themes by going back to the text and extracting codes, and 5) defining and naming the themes.

Once all transcripts were coded, similar codes were merged based on code frequency and consensus.
The next two projects are based on coding, he says.
Instead, we will base your code review grade on the quantity and quality of the actual reviewing that you've done, by looking at the activity history on your profile page.
Most of these analyses produced substantively similar results, and so we used the 0-1-2+ coning based on a review of the variable's natural distribution among this sample, the need to distinguish between single-visit users and other users, and high zero inflation which complicated count models.
Preliminary codes (first level codes) were generated based on a review of each transcript to identify statements reflecting recurring distinct themes regarding experiences with financial burden of patients with chronic diseases.
These initially included a set of a priori codes based on our literature review (such as peer pressure, parental influence, and impact of poverty), but with additional codes subsequently included as they were inductively identified by JK during initial readings of the data (such as social status, boys, and influence of television).
Similarly, investigators used product coding based on medical record review for specific mechanisms, which could have been misclassified leading to under- or over-counting reporting.
