The transformative paradigm has emerged fromand guidesa broad range of social and behavioral science research projects with communities that have been pushed to the margins, such as ethnic, racial, and sexual minority group members and children and adults with disabilities.

Practical aspects of analyzing and reporting results are addressed, and numerous sample studies are presented.
