Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Informed consent will be obtained from all participants prior to commencing the study and for the purpose of audio recording the interviews. The interviews will be conducted in either English or Kannada, depending on the participant’s language preference, to ensure clarity and comfort during the discussion. Each interview will take place in a separate, quiet room to maintain privacy and confidentiality. The interview will explore participants’ perspectives on spirituality and healthcare decision-making. The duration of each session will be approximately 30 to 40 minutes. All audio-recorded interviews will later be transcribed and translated into English for analysis. The data will then be analyzed thematically using Braun and Clarke’s framework, either through manual coding or with the assistance of NVivo software.
