N2 - Highlights
•
To make clinical research results more relevant for individual patients, using qualitative types of generalization can have important added value.
•
We suggest several generalization types that can be used to individualize study results, using insights and methods from the social sciences.
•
If different types of generalization are combined, study results may become better applicable and therefore more relevant to individual patients.
