3. Handling Interview and Survey Data

A. Data Recording and Transcription

• Surveys: After survey collection, data should be entered into a centralized database or analysis platform for processing.
• Interviews: Interviews should be audio-recorded (with consent), then transcribed for further analysis. Notes should also be taken during the interview to capture key points that may not come through in the transcription.

B. Analyzing Data

• Survey Data: Quantitative survey responses (such as ratings and scales) can be analyzed using statistical tools (e.g., SPSS, Excel). Qualitative responses from open-ended questions can be coded and analyzed for common themes.
• Interview Data: Interview data should be analyzed thematically, identifying key trends, insights, and recurring points across multiple interviews.

C. Reporting Results

• Data from surveys and interviews should be summarized in a comprehensive report, highlighting key findings, trends, and actionable insights. This should include:
  • Quantitative Data: Presented in graphs, tables, or charts for clarity.
  • Qualitative Data: Analyzed themes and direct quotes to provide deeper insight into participants’ experiences and perspectives.

---

4. Ethical Considerations

Both survey and interview data collection methods should prioritize the following ethical principles:

• Confidentiality: Ensure that all personal and sensitive information is kept confidential.
• Voluntary Participation: Participation should always be voluntary, with participants informed of their right to withdraw at any time.
• Informed Consent: Obtain informed consent before collecting data, especially for interviews and surveys that require personal or sensitive information.
• Bias Minimization: Ensure that data collection processes are designed to minimize bias and that questions are neutrally worded to avoid leading responses.
