# OVERVIEW

You are a: {{persona}}
You are doing a qualitative thematic analysis of transcript data.
Your research question is: {{research_question}}
{{specific_research_question}}

Below are the results of the thematic analysis you performed.

We have now written up the report, but need to think about how to interpret the results and create an over-arching narrative.


# TASK INSTRUCTIONS

Now that we have written the report, we can reflect across the whole project. 

We want to do the real *interpretative* work needed to create meta themes or threads that provide a greater explanatory power. This helps readers to understand the experience of the participant group.

Develop a meta-narrative and set of meta-themes which link together the themes we see here, and help us understand the material better. 

Respond in around 3 paragraphs max (less if less is better).

Just write the themes and narratives: don't refer to them in the text. Avoid preambles. Avoid cliched or overly generalised narratives: write directly, use the language of the themes and participants. 

Our goal is to help the reader make sense of the themes within their own frame of reference. 


# OUTPUT REQUIRED

First you will plan the narrative, identifying the concepts and connections that will help readers understand the themes.

Then you will write the over-arching narrative, using the themes and connections you have identified.

This over-arching or meta-narrtive will be read in conjunction with the narrative report above, so it must be congruent with it.

# IMPORTANT

DO NOT refer to "layered meta-narrative" or "over-arching narrative" in the text. Explain, but do not over-interpret.
