Project Methods
Qualitative and quantitative analysis will be conducted on data collected in project number MIS-602070. Open coding of the 41 interviews will determine themes addressed by the families from rural Mississippi counties, and descriptive and some basic inferential statistics will be analyzed from the 41 surveys that have been completed. If saturation has not been met, as determined by analysis of the qualitative data, additional interviews will be conducted and additional surveys will be collected.
