What is a semi-structured interview guide?
A short word or phrase attached to a unit of data

Approach where the researcher will cross check findings using multiple sources of data, collaboration with peers, and multiple theories to support findings
What is triangulation?
______________ determines cessation of data collection based redundancies in the data.
What is saturation?
Grade of recommendation given for outcomes supported by at least one, Level II study.
What is Grade B?
An example of transcript verification is paraphrasing or summarizing a participant’s statement and asking: “So what I hear you saying is… does that sound correct?”
