Collection protocol Q-117

Reports are described, coded and compared. They are not interpreted at intake.

Procedure

Participants are interviewed once, without suggestion and without any hypothesis being disclosed. Reports are transcribed and coded against a short grid. Follow-up is organised where it remains possible.

Stance

The grid records a report, not a mechanism. Interpretations offered in our notes are hypotheses, stated as such, and are not derived from any measure obtained here. No instrument is used.
