Exploring health care access barriers in underserved rural communities

 

 

Imagine you are a state-level health policy maker interested in health care access. You want to explore health care access barriers in underserved rural communities. You have contacts in these communities and decide to do a qualitative case study to explore how residents in one small rural community experience difficulties accessing health care services. You plan to use semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and a sociogram as your sources of data. How would you use a thematic analysis approach to analyze these data sets? Should the analysis be inductive or deductive? Why? What is the preferred sequence for analyzing each data set? Explain. In this study, how would you move accordingly from the analysis of raw data to development of codes and thematic findings? Explain.
