INTRODUCTION
Notes Notes on the research 1. Incomplete data sets The data sets for equalities information - including demographic information on age, gender, ethnicity, disability - are incomplete. Manual records were kept of approximately 90% of the 2500+ participation opportunities. 3. Early data sets 70% of the participation data was gathered over a 6 month period, which is very short for a systems change project of this nature. The 107 interviews and the digital scales, transcribing and coding which accompanied this offers a good sample size for this purpose, but only provide a snapshot. 2. Interpretive analysis Conclusions and projections are being drawn from different data sources and are being interpreted by the research team. These interpretations are seen through the lens of multiple disciplines and the section on foundational research aims to outline these areas. 4. Research methods Multiple research methods have been used, including traditional qualitative and quantitative data gathering. In addition to inductive reasoning methods, abductive reasoning methods have also been applied to project forward, and develop draft frameworks for future development based on the multiple sources of qualitative and quantitative data available. Abduction is intended to help social researchers to make new discoveries in a logically and methodologically ordered way (Reichertz, 2007). Developmental evaluation and participatory action research processes have been used throughout the design and research process. 107 in-depth interviews, resulting in 250,000 transcribed words were coded and analysed using Grounded Theory methods. All research methods have limitations. 10
