Checklist
Positionality statement checklist from COREQ
The eight research team and reflexivity items from the COREQ reporting checklist
A checklist for writing a positionality statement in a qualitative interview or focus group report. It follows the first domain of the COREQ reporting checklist, research team and reflexivity, which asks who did the interviews, their background and training, and their relationship with participants. Tick each item off in your method section so readers can judge how the research team may have shaped the findings.
