Because the final three topic areas, respectively addressing perceived benefits, drawbacks, and incentives to participating in genetic research, were considered to be of greater importance for the purpose of this study, we went through an additional iteration of coding for these three areas. Once we obtained adequate inter-rater agreement (at least 80%), the two raters (with an option to include a third rater, if necessary) conducted consensus ratings to be able to calculate compare the relative distribution of thematic responses within the topic areas.
