Limitations
Several potential limitations are of note. Firstly, the teens interviewed did not all have the same CHD leading to differences in both their medical and surgical histories (and futures) and therefore differences in how their quality of life was affected by their overall condition. Secondly, all interviews were not conducted by the same interviewer, which may have resulted in different approaches to the questioning and the direction the interview took. In an effort to address this limitation, multiple research team members contributed to data analysis and interpretation. Several measures were taken to address this potential limitation. Consistent guiding questions were used for each interview and whether the same or different interviewer conducted the subsequent interview, interview recordings, and transcripts were reviewed, and questions to clarify or amplify data from the previous interview were prepared for the interview. The first author took the lead in data analysis and interpretation and met regularly with the research team to discuss findings and seek confirmation of the direction of her interpretations.
