Percentage change in road traffic deaths (2010- 2016)
• Why thematic content analysis of five SG’s progress reports and not
textual discourse analysis?
• Began with physical reading of reports to understand the structure,
content and get a sense of themes covered
• Utilized Nvivo to create database of the text of reports
• Coded text reporting on activities according to themes
• Refined codes to eliminate overlaps and double counting
• Computed salience
• Identified 7 key themes
▪ each with sub-themes
Description of themesTheme Description
Meetings Conferences, national and regional workshops/trainings and major events on road safety
Information Collection and dissemination of data and information through technical reports, guidelines, scientific articles, conducting research and sharing
experience
Management Activities related to planning, coordinating, facilitating, collaborating/creating multisectoral partnerships, launching programmes, establishing
institutions/lead agencies, strengthening capacity, preparing national plan/strategy etc in support of road safety policies
Behaviour change Programmes to improve driver behaviour, safety of children, increase seatbelt use, decrease distracted driving, increase use and availability of
