I have begun to identify the early themes from each interview and draw these together into topic areas.  The next stage is to begin to create the Framework charts in Excel.  Initially I intend to create a chart for each of Kleinman's 8 questions and also for each aspect of his Semantic Illness Model; I suspect that after this I will need to create charts to highlight deeper meanings and subtleties within the data.

I still need to change all my transcripts into the format required to feed them into my CAQDAS software, N6.  Using N6 will not only help with data analysis and interpretation but will also provide an opportunity to compare Framework v. CAQDAS; this will form part of my discussion chapter in the thesis alongside a discussion regarding the utility of Kleinman's EM as a data analysis tool in primary care research of this type.
