ABSTRACT

This is the third in a series of four papers on the use of qualitative methods in family planning and reproductive

health care research. The first paper outlined the three main methods used in qualitative studies and the second

explored how we can assess the `quality' of qualitative research. This paper addresses issues related to the analysis

of qualitative data. It begins by discussing the nature of qualitative data and its management, followed by an outline

of the main theoretical assumption pertaining to its analysis, that of `coding up' (versus `coding down'). Next we

describe some of the major approaches to qualitative data analysis and discuss why you may choose one approach

over another. The paper ends by highlighting some general issues in qualitative data analysis. (PubHealth.info
