Table 3 Cognitive Interviews Coding Framework
Code | Description |
|---|---|
‘Got it’ | The participant shows good understanding of the question and answers appropriately and confidently, according to their role within the intervention |
Wording | The participant queries a particular word or terminology within the question, e.g. unsure of meaning |
Redundancy | The participant either suggests that another question in the toolkit is a ‘better’ question to ask; or that they ‘like’ a particular question over another (NB this is only relevant to duplicate questions that have similar wording) |
Not Enough Information | The participant does not offer enough information to make a judgement on, for example, understanding or relevance of the question |
Problem Of Relevance - ROLE | The participant does not consider the question ‘relevant’ to their role in the intervention e.g. something that is not applicable to them |
Problem of relevance - TIMING | The participant does not consider the question ‘relevant’ to the timing of the intervention e.g. hasn’t happened yet |
Who | The participant has some trouble with ‘who’ the question is relating to e.g. themself, or others (and who the ‘others’ may be) |
Multiple Interpretations - within | The participant offers a response from their own perspective/experience/role as well as that of others involved in the intervention |
Multiple Interpretations - across | The participant offers a response which interprets the question as something different to what is being asked |
