GRAND THEORY: HIV IN MINORITY POPULATION
Introduction of the Framework
The conceptual framework used in the article is the Grand theory framework. The idea of using grand theory in this article is based on the aspect of the set of abstract ideas that together bring about a broad statement concerning human beings, the health, nursing, and the environment. Grand theory represents a broader scope of ideas in carrying out any form of study. The theory encompasses some concepts together with propositions with less abstract nature and generality unlike the concepts and propositions linked with the conceptual model. Nonetheless, even with such a perception, the model has not involved more concrete propositions and concepts like the middle-range theory (Olivia et al., 2013). The theory has been used by the study in this article in place of a conceptual model, which serves as a guide for carrying out research.

The study is done in the United States of America, New Zealand, and Canada. Grand theory is practical in the study because it puts together many pieces of studies and knowledge concerning the effects of the minority influences and status on those affected by HIV (In Smith & In Parker, 2015).
