“When we have served meat, my husband comes first, must be given respect so he takes the bigger part”: A qualitative analysis of maternal and child nutrition among urban and rural households in Rwanda
Description
The study was conducted in five districts of Rwanda. Data were collected through focus group discussion and in-depth-interviews. In-depth interviews were conducted with key stakeholders (nurses and CHWs) while focus group discussions (FGD) were done with mothers and fathers of children under the age of five. Forty (40) in-depth interviews (IDI) were conducted. In each district, 4 community health workers drawn from different sectors within the district and 4 nurses from different healthcare facilities participated in the IDI. A total of ten (10) FGDs were held – one for mothers and one for fathers in each of the five districts. Study participants included in the FGD were purposely selected with the help of community health workers.

Data management All audio recordings were transferred to a password-protected computer, then deleted from the audio recorders. The audio recordings were transcribed and translated into English. Transcripts were checked for accuracy and consistency by the lead researchers (GI, MQA and SM). Observational notes were also used and checked. Data analysis Transcripts were transcribed verbatim and translated into English. Transcripts were read and coded by five researchers (MAQ, SM, GI, NN and TU) first independently to draft a codebook, and then came together to consolidate their codes into a final codebook. This was done manually. Further inductive coding was done using Dedoose software (version 9.0.86) [19]. Thematic analysis was used to identify important patterns in the data as described by Braun and Clarke [20]. Then, the team met to discuss and finalize the emerging themes and subthemes.
