Data analysis
ToC.
Data were analysed incorporating inductive and deductive approaches with deductive approaches informed by the CFIR framework [Firstly, researchers familiarised themselves with the transcripts and the CFIR framework. Secondly, data were coded into the corresponding domains/sub-domains of the CFIR framework and data outside of the framework were coded inductively. CF coded service leads’ data and JC coded data from patients and practitioners. Thirdly, findings were regularly presented and discussed with the wider research team to facilitate further reflection and inform the changes (if needed) to the ToC. The EQUITy intervention was a service quality improvement intervention and targeted change at three different levels (patients, practitioners and service leads); however, the immediate recipients of the intervention were practitioners and services. Consequently, the ToC was used to explore implementation barriers and facilitators, and the patient data aided understanding of the reach of the intervention. Data analysis was supported by QSR International’s NVivo-12 qualitative software [
