Qualitative studies to include in the review are those that focused on exploring the experience of the health problem from the clients' perspective. Clients are well known to hold implicit theories of the health problem; these theories reflect their personal construction of the problem and explanation of contributing factors (Armstrong & Dregan, 2014). Qualitative studies using different approaches (e.g. phenomenology, grounded theory) are selected if they aim to describe clients' experience of the problem (e.g. indicators, impact on daily life); elucidate factors that contributed to the problem; or generate a theory or a model summarizing and explaining the intricate relationships among the determinants and the problem. Results of qualitative studies highlight the unique way in which the health problem is experienced by particular subgroups of the client population. They also assist in clarifying the pathway linking the determinants with the problem and in providing conceptual explanations of these associations.
