Important steps and strategies for analyzing written/interview data and other written information towards research project, such as field notes, notes from observation protocols, etc. But focus on interview data particularly: qsr nvivo software: data analysis software, translation/transcription: interviews (and other data) are translated, transcribed verbatim (word for word), and checked for accuracy, this data may be in a different language, for example. Translations must be crisp, as to not lose meaning. English-speaking local who is neutral to the situation, who won"t assert bias into the data. Someone who is around the same age group as your study population, so they can understand slang. Should not pick someone who"s a part of your research due to research ethics. They are usually paid for their services. Should always get someone else to do it, as translation is extremely time- consuming. Have a second person check the translation for accuracy. May change style/approach in conducting interview process.
