Muhtasari	Multiple case-based Straussian grounded theory combines Strauss and Corbin's systematic coding procedures — open, axial, and selective coding — with a multiple case design in which the same grounded theory analysis is conducted across two or more purposively selected cases. The approach aims to generate a mid-range theory grounded in rich, cross-case qualitative data while capitalizing on the comparative leverage offered by multiple sites or units, ultimately producing a theory with broader scope and stronger transferability than a single-case grounded theory study.	Longitudinal grounded theory is a qualitative research design that applies grounded theory's inductive, iterative logic to data collected from the same participants or settings across multiple time points. It is used to build substantive theory that accounts not only for social processes but also for how those processes unfold, shift, and are renegotiated over time. The approach is particularly suited to studying change, trajectory, and temporal experience in social and health research.
