TABLE 2.

Stages of analysis based on Smith et al. (2009)

Stage	Overview
1	Each interview transcript was repeatedly read and listened to whilst initial, unstructured notes were made denoting powerful recollections of interviews and observations about transcripts
2	Exploratory descriptive, linguistic, and conceptual codes summarizing the experiences described by participants were noted (steps 1 and 2 repeated in an iterative process)
3	Initial notes were reviewed and theme titles that emerged were recorded, considering both specific quotes and overarching narratives for each transcript
4	Emergent themes were clustered within transcripts to identify cluster labels using methods such as subsumption, abstraction, numeration, polarization, and function. Cluster labels were then combined and reduced into master themes
5	Patterns in master themes were identified across cases to identify superordinate and subordinate themes
