 Grounded theory is a methodology used in research studies that involves generating both qualitative and quantitative data. The aim of this article is to provide a contemporary framework for grounded theory research, which includes essential methods and processes. The framework is presented as a diagrammatic representation of a research design and acts as a visual guide for novice researchers. Grounded theory is not a linear process, but rather involves interplay between essential methods and iterative and comparative actions. Each method and process is defined in the article and the findings and recommendations can contribute to policy or knowledge development, service provision, and reform thinking to initiate change in the substantive area of inquiry.
