Inductive content analysis (ICA), or qualitative content analysis, is a method of deriving codes and categories directly from your data, making it especially useful in health-related research where studies can be small-scale and exploratory. But how do you know if it’s the right fit for your research—and what does it actually look like in practice?
Join Professor Lynn Gillam (University of Melbourne) and Associate Professor Danya Vears (Deakin University) for this webinar where you’ll explore when to choose ICA and how to apply it step by step—so you can move from lengthy transcripts to meaningful results with confidence.
In this webinar, you'll learn:
What ICA is, when to use it, and how it can elevate your research.
Key differences between ICA, thematic analysis, and deductive content analysis.
Practical examples that illustrate the use of ICA.
