Gathering the data: We contacted various community groups and venues suggested to us by stakeholders and from our knowledge of being in Frome and took the questionnaires to them. Withsomegroupsweleftquestionnairesforthemtofilloutintheirowntimeandotherpeople weconnectedwithfacetoface,writingtheiranswersforthemifnecessary.wealsocreatedan online version on Google forms and distributed this as widely as possible amongst peers and stakeholders. Interpretation:ToFindmeaninginthedata,wetriedtoseparatetheanswersinto3categories. We attempted this with one question and decided that it was not a true representation of the data as our views on how to categorise were very subjective. We then decided to use a word count, to see which words were mentioned the most. We used an online programme called Wordle togiveavisualrepresentationofthewordfrequency.thenwefoundthetop10words andcreatedapiechart.wethenpickedthe2mostmentionedwordsperquestion,wentthrough thedataandfoundoutinwhatcontexteachwordwasmentioned,thiswasturnedintoamind map.

In our culture, physical health tends to be easier to talk about; it is an accepted custom. When it comes to mental and emotional health there is more reticence to discuss this openly. 3.
