Implementation of smoking cessation guidelines in the emergency department: a qualitative study of staff perceptions

Table 2 Inter-rater agreement of qualitative coders ¹

¹Percentage agreement across two independent coders was calculated as an overall average of all codes. Each set consisted of unique transcripts that were each coded by a pair of independent coders (coding group). Agreement for Set 1 was determined after codebook development and included transcripts from the first 10% of coded interviews; inter-rater agreement for Set 2 was based on the last 10% of coded interviews.
²Three independent coders worked in paired combinations; one coder was included in each pair throughout the entire coding process to ensure consistency.
