More books on mixed methods research have been published recently. One notable contribution to this growing body of work is Bergman’s 2008 Advances in Mixed Methods Research: Theories and Applications. This edited work features contributions by different researchers and addresses a myriad of issues ranging from the need to re-conceptualize the paradigmatic differences between qualitative and quantitative approaches to methodological issues and challenges. This book should prove useful to researchers and graduate students interested in mixed methods designs.

Comprehensive Framework

This paper introduces a framework for conducting and disseminating mixed methods research on positive outlier countries that successfully improved their health outcomes and systems. We provide guidance on identifying exemplar countries, assembling multidisciplinary teams, collecting and synthesising pre-existing evidence, undertaking qualitative and quantitative analyses, and preparing dissemination products for various target audiences. Through a range of ongoing research studies, we illustrate application of each step of the framework while highlighting key considerations and lessons learnt. We hope uptake of this comprehensive framework by diverse stakeholders will increase the availability and utilisation of rigorous and comparable insights from global health success stories.

Theoretical Dimension

This paper starts by characterizing conventional notions of quantitative ‘versus' qualitative research and considers their potential displacement by ‘mixed-methods' research. The claim that mixed-methods research is necessarily an advance on its predecessors is critiqued. Using a critical realist approach favouring retroductive and abductive rather than inductive and deductive research strategies, it is suggested that the theoretical dimension implicit in all research is too often neglected. It is further contended that ‘making a case' empirically amounts to much the same things as ‘making a case' theoretically. More ‘metareflection' is commended. Brief references is made to the literature on health inequalities to add some flesh to the bones of the argument.

Mixed methods research is important to health services research because the integrated qualitative and quantitative investigation can give a more comprehensive understanding of complex interventions such as telehealth than can a single-method study. Further, mixed methods research is applicable to translational research and program evaluation. Study designs relevant to telehealth research are described and supported by examples. Quality assessment tools, frameworks to assist in the reporting and review of mixed methods research, and related methodologies are also discussed.

Single Study

Mixed methods research integrates both qualitative and quantitative methods into a single study to produce a more inclusive and expansive understanding of a topic. This article defines mixed methods in social work research, and discusses design notation, language, popular mixed methods designs, and data integration. Using mixed methods provides an opportunity for social workers to take advantage of the strengths of both qualitative and quantitative approaches and to offset their weaknesses. It is important that social workers engaged in mixed methods research maximize the interpretation of their findings and articulate the advantages of using mixed methods over qualitative or quantitative methods alone. Given the unique features of the profession, it is imperative that social workers carve out a distinctive mixed methods niche for social work researchers and practitioners.

Despite concerted efforts, there remains a residue of shared spoken and unspoken prejudices from the qualitative-quantitative debates of the 1970’s and 1980’s. In this discussion, we examine both the source and content of these conundrums and posit the need for greater use of mixed methods research in the health sciences. An exemplar that has used mixed methods in health sciences research is presented.

Purpose Mixed methods research is a relatively new, but growing, research methodology with particular relevance to speech-language pathologists because of its utility in translating research into practice. Mixed methods research involves collection of both qualitative and quantitative data, which is integrated to gain a deeper understanding of a research question, particular population or intervention, or to develop a tool. In particular, pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) research stands to benefit from this methodology to comprehensively and holistically report on this population. Conclusions This article focuses on introducing researchers new to mixed methods, as well as clinicians, to the four basic mixed methods study designs and considerations. To establish a foundational understanding, examples of published work specific to PFD are incorporated and a framework for understanding mixed method study design is proposed. Then, the four designs are examined from the lens of critical appraisal, so that clinicians and researchers are well prepared to critically evaluate mixed methods studies. Finally, applications of mixed methods to PFD are explored, with a commentary on how published examples could be extended using mixed methods designs. This article provides researchers and clinicians with a basic understanding of mixed methods as well as a clear avenue for its application to PFD. Mixed methods has the potential to advance our understanding of the heterogenous population PFD impacts, improve our use of interdisciplinary teams, examine holistic interventions, and develop tools for clinical and research use.
