Summative Analysis: A Qualitative Method for Social Science and Health Research

Abstract: In this paper the author describes a new qualitative analytic technique that she has been perfecting across a range of health research studies. She describes the summative analysis method, which is a group, collaborative analytic technique that concentrates on consensus-building activities, illustrating its use within a study of Holocaust survivor testimony that aimed to clarify how health and well-being were presented in Holocaust testimonials and what that might reveal about professional perceptions of traum… Show more

“…To sum up about data analysis techniques, all analysis processes have a purpose of reduction (Miles & Huberman, 1994), and refinement of data.

Two specific questions guided an initial reading of the SCRs.…”
