By the time you finish using the methods and tools you have selected for your study, you will have several sets of information organized and stored in notebooks, files, and index cards according to chronological order or by method/tool used, or both. This chapter deals with the processes of conducting overall analysis of all the information gathered and reviewed; checking its trustworthiness by triangulation; interpreting or making sense of findings; presentation and use of findings. As documentation is one of the most important outputs of a hygiene evaluation study, we shall demonstrate how investigation and analysis link up to report writing in practical terms.
