    • What counts as a theme
      • Recurrent ideas, topics, statements etc that generate a pattern which may explain or add meaning to a person’s (or group of people’s) experiences
      • No set rules are available to determine a theme
      • A theme must answer the research question
    • Inductive Thematic Analysis
      • Inductive themes come from the data without predefining a specific research question
      • They come from the output and are often core message themes rather than domain summaries
    • Deductive Thematic Analysis
      • Deductive themes relate to a predefined theoretical position or specific research question
      • The theory/question is then used to organise the data into patterns (themes come during familiarisation)

        • Commitment and rigour
        • Coherence and transparency
