The main themes from above mentioned data sources are; knowledge and awareness, cultural factors, these themes were taken based on the research questions with appropriate links to the theories that informed this study.
The data collected from focus group discussions will be analyzed deeply because views and perceptions would be marked to final results. These views and perceptions constitute beliefs that students have, thus analyzing them is primary objective of this section. A narrative analysis will be used as a tool because it permits a researcher to verify if the compiled narrative make sense (Neuman
