Researchers extracted 821 codes from the contemporaneous notes onto Excel. To ensure credibility, each researcher had a sample of their initial analyses independently checked by another researcher.ER, CL, AN, MS
Researchers read through codes individually to familiarise themselves with content and ensure that these consistently reflected the interviews.ER, CL, AN, MS
Researchers reviewed the codes together and manually grouped them into 269 categories in Excel.ER, CL, AN, MS
Researchers reviewed the categories in a virtual meeting to generate them into themes using Excel. Raw data were continually referenced in order to refine the themes.ER, CL, AN, MS
