Abstract
Analysing data in groups is highly beneficial in ensuring the credibility and accuracy of analysis. This chapter detailed how we developed joint Conversation Analysis (CA) groups run with clinicians and researchers. We outline how data groups work when using CA as the main framework for analysis, to ensure the credibility of the analysis. Limited research reports the use of joint analysis groups with participants, service users or clinicians. We review the challenges this approach creates and discuss how we were able to achieve this, and how it added to the research in enhancing confidence in the accuracy of transcriptions, and through ensuring the relevance of the analysis. We provide a protocol to guide how future joint analysis groups could be run.
