Qualitative Interview - identification of themes and constructs
Data will be collected during an in-depth interview and will be analyzed with an inductive, open coding approach, first identifying themes, then constructs that emerge from the data will be categorized and mapped, noting new concepts and constructs. Theme convergence and divergence will be assessed. The interview guide focuses on participants' experiences and health-seeking behaviors regarding prostate cancer prevention, detection, decision-making, treatment, care, and survivorship.
