ABSTRACT
Introduction This chapter explores strategies that might be used in the establishment of truths in qualitative research. The motivation for this article arose from our experiences of managing the complexities of notions of truth and rigour in health research. This chapter argues for the development of strategies that are in keeping with the ontological foundations of work undertaken, the importance of making explicit strategies and stances that are adopted, and recognizing the complex interactions of the sociopolitical agenda at play in the research.
