- Societal participation
Background:
- Occupational justice research informs societal conditions for meaningful occupation.
- Occupational therapy aims to create environments supporting occupational engagement.

- To develop a model for ethical considerations in occupational justice research with vulnerable participants.
Main Methods:
- Secondary analysis of data from a study involving asylum seekers.
- Included semi-structured interviews, researcher memos, and written reports.
- Employed template analysis for data interpretation.
Main Results:
- The Intentional Strengths Interviewing model was developed.
- The model comprises three strategies: strengths-informed interview processes, strengths questioning, and strengths responding.
Conclusions:
- The Intentional Strengths Interviewing model can guide ethical research design for vulnerable populations.
