A specific checklist for this topic was developed in relation to the needs of this study.
Applying its much-praised "documentary theatre" technique – where topics are developed through intense journalistic-style investigation – the group started off "by asking which of us had read it and who had a copy lurking at the back of a bookshelf or in their attic", Haug said.
As we shall see, these topics are developed in Chapters IV and V of The Genetical Theory.
These are screened by specialists and an 'overlap check' is undertaken to ensure that there is no duplication of current or completed research internally and externally, after which topics are developed and prioritised by panels comprising independent experts and patient and public contributors.
Field notes were written following each focus group/interview to summarise data and reflect on analytic topics being developed.
These indicators primarily address contextual topics, while project- and company-related topics were developed to present likely changes from those baseline conditions.
This interview guide, which included predetermined topics, was developed to explore the health professionals' perspectives, requests, and expectations regarding team interventions.
An interview topic guide, consisting of four central topics, was developed, based on the literature and expertise in the research team [see Additional file 1] with the purpose of getting knowledge of the informants' smoking narratives.
The categorisation of fifteen key themes and topics was developed using a combination of pharmacology principles, systems-based pharmacology and disease-based therapeutics referenced against the Tables of Contents of a selection of commonly used pharmacology texts and clinical reference handbooks; for example, pharmacokinetics is a theme, for which drug metabolism is a topic within that theme.
A set of study-specific topics were developed by GC-HK and AZHL to assess medical students' experiences in community service in three domains: 1) nature of community service, 2) obstacles faced when participating in community service, and 3) potential solutions to overcome these obstacles to community service participation (Supplementary Table 1).
