本文介绍了用于支持一个系统的，归纳分析的访谈与消费者的药物治疗的策略。数据分析是基于现象学和扎根理论。开发了一个编码系统，用码本来解释该系统。密码本包括代码地址、助记符和全名、代码定义和何时应用以及文本示例。成立了一个多学科编码团队，成员来自研究、临床和服务使用背景。团队方法中的挑战包括任务带来的不同技能水平，多个编码器的资源需求以及团队成员的时间要求。其好处在于包括研究人员背景的多个视角，并有机会讨论编码分歧和完善编码系统。有两个主要的编码器减少了灵活性的迭代过程中的编码分析，特别是解释和模式编码。密码本对编码和编写调查结果很有用。码本结构可以应用于其他项目，并在分析期间用作比较点。
This article describes strategies used to support a systematic, inductive analysis of interviews with consumers of drug treatment. Data analysis was based on phenomenology and grounded theory. A coding system was developed, with a codebook to explicate the system. The codebook comprised the code address, mnemonic and full name, the code definition and when it should be applied, as well as text examples. A multi-disciplinary coding team was formed, with individuals from research, clinical and service use backgrounds. Challenges in the team approach included the different skill levels brought to the task, resource needs across multiple coders, and time demands on team members. Benefits rested in the inclusion of multiple perspectives in researcher backgrounds and in the opportunities to discuss coding disagreements and refine the coding system. Having two primary coders reduced flexibility in the iterative process of coding analysis, particularly interpretive and pattern coding. The codebook was useful for coding and writing findings. The codebook structure could be applied to other projects and used as a comparison point during analysis.
