Checklist: Using Thematic Coding and Qualitative Content Analysis

Actions

What are your expectations for coding material in your study?

Are you aiming (a) at describing the material or (b) to develop a typology for certain themes in the coding procedures?

Which approach of coding is the most appropriate for your issue?

Do you bring your categories or a coding frame to your material or develop categories from it?

Do you want to reduce your material first of all?

Is your analysis systematic in a way suggested by qualitative content analysis?

How do you take into account the fact that coding is a way of (re)constructing events and experiences?
