The research scenario includes coding the collected information to highlight the effect of the ADHD medications appliance on future substance use disorder. The variabilities are supposed to be collected from the medical records and the interviews with the adult participant who experienced ADHD-related medication or non-pharmaceutical methods of treatment. The framework design will be the best suited for the study due to addressing the different types of variabilities. It is planned to compare data fragments with each other, initial codes (concept labels) with data, codes with each other, categories with codes, categories with each other, and categories with concepts. In other words, making constant comparisons at different levels of analysis. Data collection in a grounded theory approach will receive less attention than analysis itself. Written sources will be used as primary resources of data.
The starting point is the inductive generalizations of individual cases. The researcher proceeds to put forward hypothetical explanatory statements, which are confirmed or refuted by further access to the data until the most probable and credible theoretical interpretation is created (Charmaz & Thornberg, 2020). On the one hand, grounded theory is best correlated with the descriptive research design (Birks et al., 2018). In order to answer the PICOT question, new methods of theoretical and practical frameworks are required. This design enhances solving the particular problem of analyzing the collected throughout a specific period of time data. In this case, the correlations between the children’s experience and their future disorders in adulthood should be drawn. The experimental design can also be relevant in conducting the interviews with the controlled group of adults with substance use disorder who experienced the medical treatment of ADHD in childhood.
