Resum	Participatory Straussian grounded theory combines Strauss and Corbin's systematic, structured version of grounded theory with participatory research principles that give community members an active role in data generation, coding, and theory development. The result is a rigorously structured yet co-constructed theory about a social process, grounded in both the analytic procedures of axial coding and the lived authority of participants.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
