Canadian Dairy Veterinarian Focus Group Codebook on Education Barriers

Codebook derived from five focus groups with Canadian bovine veterinarians conducted between December 2024 and April 2025. The study explores factors influencing participation in continuing education programs. The dataset contains qualitative codes related to perceptions and barriers.

Use Cases

• Analyze qualitative codes for themes related to 'Barrier' perceptions among dairy veterinarians.
• Map relationships between coded 'Perception' factors and the 'Continuing Education Program' context.
• Identify common and unique 'Barrier' codes across the five focus groups to understand key challenges.

Strengths

• Data sourced from five distinct focus groups, providing multiple perspectives.
• Covers a specific temporal range from December 2024 to April 2025.
• Focuses on a defined professional group: Canadian bovine veterinarians.

Limitations

• Sample size is limited to participants from five focus groups, not a large-scale survey.
• Data is qualitative and coded, requiring thematic analysis rather than statistical modeling.
• Geographic scope is restricted to Canada, limiting generalizability to other regions.
