“…Two additional U.S.-based reviews have focused specifically on qualitative dissertations (Brun, 1997;Gringeri, Barusch, & Cambron, 2013). Collectively, these studies have used a variety of methods (e.g., surveys, database searches) and sampling procedures (e.g., random selection, convenience sampling) to describe substantive areas covered in doctoral dissertations, methods used in the dissertations, and the extent to which the research is practice/intervention based.…”

Conceptualising a Proposed Support Strategy for Sexually Abused Boys in Middle Childhood

“…Member checking (Creswell, 2014) was used, where possible themes were given to one participant to review.

A dense description (Creswell, 2014) of research methodology and a literature control were undertaken.…”

“…The raw data and tentative interpretations of the data were discussed with four participants. The data were audited (Creswell, 2014;Gringeri et al, 2013) by a co-coder, while expert supervision was provided by a registered social worker and registered educational psychologist during the data-analysis process.…”
