Using this study as an illustration, I show how techniques from grounded theory methodology can be usefully harnessed in the data collection, coding and analysis stages of a research project that adopts a CR philosophical and methodological framework. This article contributes to an emerging discussion about how CR can be applied, drawing on an example of a qualitative study that has sought to understand and explain the causes of unmet need amongst a group of rural labourers in Tunisia. Whilst critical realism (CR) is becoming recognised as a significant metatheory for the social sciences, there is little guidance on how to produce research which is consistent with its ontological and epistemological assumptions.
