Generalizing from qualitative data: a case example using critical realist thematic analysis and mechanism mapping to evaluate a community health worker-led screening program in India
Mechanism maps created by repeated engagement following the critical realist thematic analysis method can provide a retrospective framework to understand causal relationships between factors driving intervention successes or failures. This process, in turn, can inform the generalizability of health programs by identifying constituent factors and their interrelationships that are central to implementation.
