Participants can seek feedback on any step in the process (e.g., coding, creating matrices/diagrams/other products, developing categories or themes, summarizing data). Participants must have attended an Introduction to Qualitative Data Analysis training offered by NC TraCS (either the session offered on April 16, 2024, or a previously offered session).
