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

Personal Experience• Learned about data collection and data analysis stages of

the research process through both of these projects.

• Appreciation for working on research focused on young adults that have experienced a difficulty.

• I want to continue to assist with research.

• Would like to help publish an article.

• Desire to implement findings into the community.
