Mini Course: NVivo - Mini Project Templates with Required Steps, Reflection Prompts, and Deliverables

A semi-structured qualitative interview collected from one participant, identified as P1, recruited for the interview because they had indicated experiencing food insecurity throughout their childhood into young adulthood during a previous conversation with the Interviewer.

NOTE: The interviewee gave permission to share their interview transcript for teaching purposes -- you also may reuse for teaching/learning purposes [but NOT for research purposes, please].

Two overall research questions and corresponding interview questions:

RQ1: to gain detailed understanding of adults’ reflections on their experiences of food insecurity during their childhood and young adulthood.

• Interview Q1: You had mentioned that you experienced food insecurity from when you were a child through when you were in high school. If you're comfortable doing so, can you please tell me more about those experiences.

RQ2: to gain deeper understanding of experiences of stigma among those who experienced food insecurity as children and/or young adults, including potential lasting impacts into adulthood.

• Interview Q2: You had mentioned in a previous conversation how someone experiencing food insecurity might be “embarrassed” by the experience. If you are comfortable doing so, can you please tell me more about what you meant by someone possibly being embarrassed and about your own experiences of being embarrassed, if you ever felt that way.
