    Mixed methods research combines both quantitative and qualitative data by using explanatory or exploratory sequential designs or a triangulation design. Explanatory sequential design uses quantitative data first to guide subsequent qualitative data collection and analysis to help explain initial results. Exploratory sequential design uses qualitative data initially to inform instrument development and quantitative data collection and analysis to generalize exploratory findings. The triangulation design examines the same phenomenon using both quantitative and qualitative data analyzed together or transformed into a single dataset. Researchers must consider timing, ensure each study can stand alone, address limitations of multiple studies, and justify the mixed methods approach in the research question.

    Mixed methods

    Quant = identifying patterns, numerical data


    Qual = lived experience

    Mixed method = focus on research that looks at real life context understandings,
    multi-level perspectives, cultural influences – requires a mixed approach – two
    studies blended together in the analysis at the end – more ethical considerations

    Explanatory sequential design – quant followed by qual


    Explain quant results using qual
    Quant results guide selection of qual data sources and collection and qual
    findings contribute to interpretation of quant results

    Exploratory sequential
    Qual followed by quant
    Purpose – explore, develop, and test an instrument
    Qual findings inform quant data collection and quant findings allow generalisation of
    qual findings

    Triangulation design
    Qual and quant components are concomitant
    Purpose – examine same phenomenon by interpretation qual and quant results
    (bringing data analysis together at the interpretation stage)
    Or by integrating qual and quant datasets
    Or by transforming data e.g., quantifying qual data

    Be mindful of timings
    Get out plan – make sure study one is enough to carry itself – discuss this with your
    supervisor
    Two studies can have an impact on your page/word limitations
    Justification of mixed methods should be included in the research question
    Use mixed methods appraisal tool
