Screening for suicidal thoughts in primary care: the views of patients and general practitioners
Journal Title: Mental Health in Family Medicine - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Simple descriptive statistics were used to describe the responses of those who took part in the survey, using SPSS (Version 16.0). Qualitative data from the surveys were analysed using a thematic framework.20 This was founded on the objectives of the study, developed using analytic induction from early responses and iteratively added to and amended as further data emerged. Data, uniquely coded to reflect the specific interview from which they were sourced, were pasted into the coding framework. Validation of the analytic approach was carried out on an ongoing basis through individual supervision.
