2 Attitudes toward health, healthcare, and eHealth of people with a low socioeconomic position 31 our target neighborhood from analysis. The participants’ mean age in this final sample was 52 years (SD = 11.10), 21% was male and 79% was female. Most of this sample (67%) had a low to medium education, which was defined as not having attained a follow-up education. This is relatively high compared to 59% in the Netherlands. Ten participants participated in the focus groups: two Kp’s, five Vo’s and three Vi’s. 2.3.2 Phase 1 and 2 – Exploration and specification The unstructured interviews of phase one yielded 30 pages of field reports containing 85 coded segments. The semi-structured interviews of phase two yielded ten interview transcripts containing 359 coded segments. The grounded theory analysis resulted in 58 concepts within nine categories related to attitudes toward health, healthcare, and eHealth. Examples of the categories found are consciousness about health, motivation to perform healthy behavior and satisfaction toward healthcare. Examples of identified concepts are Interest in health, Perceived barriers, and loyalty toward healthcare provider. Table 2.1 presents an overview of the concepts and categories included in the third phase. We excluded categories conveying a limited number of concepts (N = 1) or not fitting the attitude theory constructs (N = 1). We selected the concepts to include (N = 29) in the third phase based on the number of associated coded segments and discussion by the two analysts. Table 2.1 Concepts (N = 29) under their categories (N = 9) resulting from grounded theory analysis including number (N) of associated codes, description, and exemplary quotes (translated).
