In this chapter, the focus is on doing analysis of data together; some examples of the kinds of legacies that come from being involved in research; the ways in which researchers recognise the needs of the communities in which they are involved and look to reciprocate involvement; and how to end involvement well. We provide examples of approaches to analysis where the people we spoke to discuss how to co-produce analysis, how to present the work to co-researchers to do analysis together, providing space for people to engage with the data and connect the experience of data collection with analysis. Working together on data analysis is enabled by researchers creating accessible formats, techniques and support for people with experience to contribute. We provide examples of the talking points and negotiated outcomes that happen during this process, recognising that room is needed for disagreements, that research is producing new knowledge that might not be palatable to everyone. Collaboration to complete a project includes interpreting data together, prioritising findings, report and publication production, and collaborative dissemination events and practices. Coresearchers may have had experience to draw on that relate to these activities in previous professional roles, such as public speaking, report writing or other creative skills such as poetry, theatre or visual arts. They may also be involved in campaigning and policy influencing and so have access to people and spaces that will help communicate findings to those who need to know. We revisit the value of care – to pay attention, listen carefully and respond to find an acceptable way forward. We discuss examples where the ethics of care was not the explicit framework for the research, but has been used as a reflective tool when it comes to analysis. An explicit ethics of care analytic process, Selma Sevenhuijsen’s helpful ‘Trace’ (2003) is discussed as an example of a systematic care ethics approach to the analysis of policy or text documents that seeks out the philosophical underpinnings and the implicit and explicit assumptions about care that they contain.

Part of the work of analysis and dissemination is being able to describe, interpret and translate experiences of one group to tell another audience what that is like.
