For data analysis, "Grounded Theory" method is conducted.
Did the study use appropriate methods for ensuring the data analysis was grounded in the views of young people?
In particular, we broadly followed the pattern established by Strauss and Corbin (1998) for qualitative data analysis in grounded theory.
In order to develop third order concepts, we drew both on Morse's outline of the cognitive basis of qualitative research [ 38] and on Charmaz's outline of data analysis in grounded theory [ 39].
All qualitative data was analyzed manually in Spanish by grouping the data into themes that emerged during data analysis using grounded theory.
Rather, her responses to economic problems have invariably been data driven, grounded in facts and analysis and subject to change as the facts change.
To ensure that the analysis is grounded in the data, rather than reflecting pre-existing ideas, analysis will occur in parallel with data collection so that aspects of the developing analysis can be tested in subsequent interviews.
Subsequently, we reviewed the data iteratively for common themes so that, beyond direct description, our analysis was grounded in the data [ 16, 17].
To ensure our analysis is grounded in the data, it will be performed in parallel to the qualitative data collection, so the developing themes and framework of analysis can be tested and validated in latter data [ 33, 39].
Analysis was grounded in the data collected from the first set of interviews, so that respondents guided the direction of the analysis.
Although the analysis was grounded in the data, we also explored links between our findings and theoretical ideas in the literature and the potential of the analysis to inform practice (Reeves et al, 2008).
