88 An exploratory qualitative design guided both purposive and snowball sampling techniques to recruit Indonesian adolescent fathers. A value of this design is that it can draw on the strengths of established qualitative methodologies and methods, enabling a flexible adoption of techniques (Percy et al., 2015). Hence, it is an appropriate approach to explore behaviour, perspectives, feelings and experiences. It simply seeks to understand a phenomenon, a process, or the perspectives and worldviews of the people involved (Creswell & Poth, 2017). As the overarching study aim was to gain an in-depth understanding of the world seen through the eyes of adolescent fathers who experienced a premarital pregnancy, an exploratory qualitative study was deemed appropriate. Participant recruitment Adolescent fathers were recruited from a Public Health Centre (PHC) and a Midwife Private Clinic (MPC) in Java as they provided services for adolescents. Eight adolescent fathers participated in this study. Of these, four were recruited during the pregnancy of their partners and each agreed to three separate interviews during the pregnancy; four participants were recruited during the early postnatal period [one interview each].
