Intercoder reliability checklist

Aspects of intercoder reliability	Present	Justification (if “no”)
There was a minimum of two coders	Yes
At least one coder was more removed from data collection (to address bias)	Yes
At least one coder had the expertise and previous experience with coding qualitative data	Yes
If there were multiple participant groups, a minimum of two researchers (coders) coded transcripts from each participant group	Yes
The coders used the same framework for analysis (e.g. inductive, deductive, abductive)	Yes
Coders focused on the shared meaning of *codes through dialogue and consensus	Yes
Another coder with expertise in qualitative methods was consulted to resolve outstanding conflicts	No	No unresolved conflicts with the coding frame occurred
Coder consensus resulted in a codebook** that was applied when coding the remaining transcripts	Yes

Note(s): *The code names do not have to be identical, but the meaning of the codes must be the same

**In inductive and abductive analyses, coding can be an iterative process; therefore, new codes may be added to the codebook until code saturation is reached
