Qualitative data analysis strategies include transcribing data into a form that can be analyzed, segmenting and coding the data to identify themes and concepts, categorizing codes to group similar ideas, relating categories to determine connections between them, prioritizing categories to create a hierarchy, enumerating themes to quantify frequency, memoing reflective notes and determining next steps, and diagramming to understand complex relationships within the data.
