  • Traditional member-checking can be limited in capturing nuanced participant perspectives.
  • Understanding moral discourses in health behavior is crucial for effective interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the utility of data-sharing focus groups for triangulation.
  • To analyze moral discourses and participant strategies in discussions about asthma medication adherence.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized principles of discursive psychology to analyze focus group and interview data.
  • Employed a data-sharing focus group as a method for triangulation.
  • Examined participant strategies for managing identification with research findings.

Main Results:

  • Participants employed interactional strategies to manage research findings, including avoidance and alignment with medical perspectives.
  • Talk about asthma medication taking was context-dependent and influenced by interactional demands.
  • Moral discourses surrounding asthma management were evident in participants' everyday talk.

Conclusions:

  • Data-sharing focus groups offer a valuable alternative interactional context for analyzing sensitive topics like moral discourses.
