Limitations
There were multiple limitations to this study. First, a small sample
(n=14) of adolescents were interviewed from across four schools, with
two schools only have one participant in this study. In an effort to
increase validity, future research should aim to include the same number
of participants from each school. Second, the use of remote interviews
has limitations; for instance, some participants may feel uncomfortable
discussing sensitive issues with a researcher over a video call (Deakin
& Wakefield, 2014; Seitz, 2016). Trained interviewers were used to
avoid and/or navigate such situations. To enhance trustworthiness of the
data (Braun & Clarke, 2006; Yardley, 2000), each of the interviews was
transcribed and checked by two individuals and four trained qualitative
researchers coded the transcripts. Third, the transferability of the
findings is somewhat constrained given the relatively small convenience
sample. However, we did recruit participants from different schools,
ethnicities, and gender to increase the heterogeneity of the sample
interviewed. Finally, since participants in this study self-selected
after they had participated in an online survey, it is possible that the
survey had an effect on which young people volunteered.
