Abstract
This article is part of a series on African primary care research and gives practical guidance
on qualitative data analysis and the presentation of qualitative findings. After an overview
of qualitative methods and analytical approaches, the article focuses particularly on content
analysis, using the framework method as an example. The steps of familiarisation, creating
a thematic index, indexing, charting, interpretation and confirmation are described. Key
concepts with regard to establishing the quality and trustworthiness of data analysis are
described. Finally, an approach to the presentation of qualitative findings is given.
