WH and NM, with the assistance of several research assistants, collected the data. All research team members were involved in the entire data analysis process from coding through to structural analysis. Early on in data collection, regular debriefing meetings were held to discuss recruitment methods (particularly recruiting male participants) and fine‐tuning interview questions. Regular contact between research team members continued through meetings to discuss coding and identifying different aspects of IA care. The varied experiences of the research team were of particular importance here to bring different perspectives of IA care forward, identify different common understandings, validity of the data, and determine saturation. |
