What I learnedUnique Outcomes: Literature review for article/ data analysis

• How to identify unique outcomes from transcripts• How to improve the differentiation of coding categories• How to code snippets of transcripts • How to have phone conferences with a team of 7• How to create a search for key terms

CHMC: Data collection/ data analysis

• How to transcribe an interview from an audio recording• How to do line by line analysis

• I want to continue to assist with research.

• Would like to help publish an article.
