Abstract
Transgender individuals experience mental health challenges that prompt research in order to come up with evidence-based interventions to address them. Constructivist grounded theory (CGT) is a type of qualitative research method that is used in the development of a theory grounded in data. The purpose of this article was to discuss the relevance of using CGT in research with transgender individuals. The article also explored how CGT can be used to conduct research on transgender people. CGT is recommended as an ideal methodology for researching transgender people on issues of mental health. The use of CGT is compatible with transgender research investigations since it is sensitive to understanding their human experiences. The pursuit of social justice for the transgender population can be easily realized with the application of CGT.
期刊介绍:
QUALITATIVE HEALTH RESEARCH is an international, interdisciplinary, refereed journal for the enhancement of health care and to further the development and understanding of qualitative research methods in health care settings. We welcome manuscripts in the following areas: the description and analysis of the illness experience, health and health-seeking behaviors, the experiences of caregivers, the sociocultural organization of health care, health care policy, and related topics. We also seek critical reviews and commentaries addressing conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues pertaining to qualitative enquiry.
