Table 1 Flowchart of the mixed-methods sequential explanatory design
| Phase | Procedure | Product |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: data collection | • Web-based survey |
• Numerical data • Freetext responses |
| Phase 1: data analysis |
• Multi-level models • Sensitivity analysis • Coding free text responses |
• Descriptive statistics • Coded themes |
| Connecting Phase 1 and 2 |
• Purposive sampling frame determined by survey findings on specific domains • Develop interview questions to answer questions raised by survey findings |
• Interview sample • Semi-structured interview schedule |
| Phase 2: data collection |
• Individual semi-structured phone interviews (n = 20) • Verbatim transcription of interview audio recordings | • Interview transcripts |
| Phase 2: data analysis | • Framework analysis |
• Thematic framework • Indexed and charted data • Mapping and interpretation of the data |
| Integration of Phase 1 and 2 results |
• Interpretation of the survey data • Refinement to implementation process |
• Discussion • Refinement of the Mini-AFTER intervention • Revision of Mini-AFTER study design • Feasible process for implementing Mini-AFTER in BCN practice • Future research |
