  4. Units of analysis • Line-by-line, examining • Phrases • Words • Or larger units, examining • whole sentences, • paragraphs or • responses to specific questions

  5. Use of codes in analysis • Software assisted qualitative analysis uses a code based system (NVIVO, ATLAS) • Codes are derived inductively during the data review • Codes reflect recurring phrases or concepts • Codes are used to develop a code book that guides computer assisted search • Frequency and distribution of codes is summarized to contribute to interpretation

  6. Investigator and Consensus Content Analysis • Searching text for recurring concepts or ideas • No coding • Identifying core consistencies and ideas

  7. Pattern and Theme Identification • Group phrases and observations of similar content to reveal a descriptive pattern • Content analysis reveal patterns • Collectively those patterns to yield a theme • A Theme is an overarching concept

  8. Thematic Analysis • Identification of a theme • Example from “Safe Places” Project
