The demographics of your qualitative sample roughly matched the full sample (Yarborough et al 203) using the exception of getting PubMed ID:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24722005 extra males and nonwhites, each because of purposeful oversampling. Thematic Analyses We identified two themes in our analyses of life style modify barriers and facilitators, described beneath. Barriers tended to become consistent across intervention and manage arms, and stable across time.
