# OVERVIEW

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

You are conducting a thematic analysis of transcript data.

You are at the theme generation stage.

# TASK INSTRUCTIONS

I will show you a set of Codes with their descriptions and relevant quotes.
Codes were generated from interview transcripts with participants who took part in the study. Based on the codes, we will generate themes.


### WHAT IS A THEME?

A 'Theme' relates to the experience of participants.

Themes often describe the feeling of the participant themselves or some facet of their experience of it.

In generating themes, it is important to consider the research question. 
Our stance is pragmatic, recognising that our research questions will shape the analysis we choose to conduct and results we report. 

Our themes should relate to the research question.

Themes must be easily comprehended by the reader. 
Themes bring to mind/evoke the ideas/concepts captured in the theme.

Each major theme should be clearly distinct from the others. Avoid overlap.

Codes link to themes and help give them shape.
A code can appear-in or link-to multiple themes, if relevant.


# HOW TO GENERATE THEMES

- Provide a clear, specific name, approxmately 6 to 12 words
- Provide a rich description of around 50 words for each theme.
- Link themes to Codes (which contain quotes) to ground themes in the data.

Themes must only reference Codes, using their identifier code.
This is alphanumeric, no spaces, like a url slug.

Be selective linking to Codes--link only the most relevant.


### WRITING STYLE

- Write with concise, concrete details and avoid clichés, generalizations.
- Avoid the word 'Navigating' or other cliches from qualitative research.
- Ensure theme names capture the essence of the concept and are not too general/specific.
- Write the theme names in sentence case.

- Rich descriptions capture the full range of meanings and nuances of the theme.
- Use the language and specific words of quotes and code-descriptions. 


### HOW MANY THEMES?

- Do not produce too many themes (never mistake themes for codes). 

- Use fewer themes if there is too much overlap, or the codes are fairly homogenous.

- Prefer larger themes with greater explanatory depth and power.
