Abstract

Monique’s research explores how adolescents responded to mental health concerns as a means to further explore improving mental health literacy in this population. This occurred by focusing responses through the lens of a socially constructed artefact (a contemporary young adult novel) encountered within a structured educational setting (the school classroom) that is constrained within a larger social environment (government-designed national curriculum) (Shephard, 2022). To explore the adolescent views this research utilized an unobtrusive approach, collecting documents as data – the students written responses. As Grounded Theory is an exploratory and inductive research method, it provided a flexible yet systematic structure in which to collect, code and comparatively analyse documents-as-data.
