Why Do Mixed Methods Research and What are common Mixed Methods designs? Some guidance
Selecting Tailoring Understanding Back into the community Accessing care Solution Problem Revising Integrating Assessing
The Patient Experience of Living with Undercared-for Chronic Suffering
Mixed Methods Questions Epidemiology/Experience
Mixed Methods Questions What/Why? What/How? Characteristics/Differences Experiences/Measurement
Your Research Question Design If you can clearly state what you want to find, the design should naturally follow.
Mixed vs Multi-Methods A program of research may be multi-methods E.g. you have 2 quantitative and 2 qualitative studies. Same body of work, but research questions inherently call each for a single method Mixed methods applies mixing, within a single project Your research question dictates you need more than one method to answer it fully
Parallel Convergent Quantitative Findings Qualitative
Parallel Convergent Quantitative: Risk-Standardized Mortality Findings: Culture Changers affected by the intervention saw reductions in risk- standardized mortality Qualitative: Interviews & Observations
Embedded Qualitative Quantitative Findings
Embedded Quantitative Qualitative Findings
Embedded Qualitative: Patient Interviews/ Staff Focus Groups Quantitative: Pt/Clinician Communication Pt Treatment Burden Staff coordination Findings: Did Outcomes Change? If so, why? If not, why not? Differences between sites
Explanatory Sequential Quantitative Qualitative Findings
Explanatory Sequential Qualitative: Quantitative: Findings: In-depth interviews w/ pts in high disruption quartile and low disruption quartile Survey of patients disruption from illness and treatment Differences between these cohorts of patients
Exploratory Sequential Qualitative Quantitative Findings
