Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 7   EBP 0914 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Grounded Theory

Captions available

The idea

Grounded theory studies how people move through an experience over time, and generates a theory that fits the data collected.

In practice

A study of how parents adapted, in stages, to a long-term diagnosis in the family.

Where people slip

The theory is the output, not the input. A study that began with a theory to test is doing something else.
