สรุป	Longitudinal Constructivist Grounded Theory combines Kathy Charmaz's constructivist variant of grounded theory — which foregrounds the co-construction of meaning between researcher and participants — with a multi-wave, time-extended data collection design. Rather than capturing a single snapshot, the researcher returns to the same participants across two or more time points, allowing the emergent theory to track how processes, identities, and social meanings develop, shift, or stabilise over time.	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.
