Integration lies at the heart of mixed methods research, but it has primarily been considered from a practical rather than a conceptual or theoretical perspective. In this paper, I develop a contextually situated, parsimonious conceptual model of the substantive dimensions that constitute integration. I conclude that integration between heterogeneous components in mixed methods research is constituted by interdependence that is connected, transactional, transformative, coherent, and dynamic. This conceptual model is presented here in the expectation that it will prompt researchers to think more deeply about the phenomena they study and the integration of the methods they use to study those phenomena.

The purpose of this article is to illustrate the process and insights gleaned from developing an implementation matrix to convey a concise, yet detailed representation of the project integration steps in a single diagram. The article is based on an explanatory sequential study conducted with 248 teachers exploring how beliefs shaped their use of technology. This article contributes to mixed methods research (MMR) by providing an example that can be used as guide by other researchers in developing and using the implementation matrix as a tool for communicating procedurally the mixed methods project integration steps for an explanatory sequential study. It also provides analytical insights gleaned and recommendations for how the implementation matrix can be developed and utilized.

This article addresses the essential yet often overlooked aspect of choosing a research topic in mixed methods research studies. Seven leading mixed methods textbooks are reviewed for insights into choosing a research topic which elucidates the dearth of specific guidance in the existing literature. Utilizing the established 13-step framework proposed by Collins et al. (2006), a new step is proposed that incorporates the process of research topic selection. This addition is intended to encourage thoughtful consideration of the research topic and make transparent decisions regarding topic selection, thereby ensuring coherence with the broader mixed methods research process. The framework is presented alongside an exploration of reasons for choosing a research topic and problem and is derived from the reviewed literature.

The methodological purpose of this article is to generate practical guidance for researchers studying complex phenomena through an adaptive case study-mixed methods (CS-MM) design. We describe CS-MM design adjustments made in response to our rapidly changeable research conditions that make complex phenomena challenging to study. We leverage Guetterman & Fetters’ (2018) CS-MM design recommendations while discussing specific adaptive design practice areas and advancing new insights gleaned from an expanded 21-month timeline when compared with a previous 4-month CS-MM study. We draw upon Mike Fetters’ extensive scholarly contributions while striving to continue his legacy for a better world and embodying Mike’s “kind mentoring” approach in our team-based study of the complex phenomena involving the response to a public health emergency.

The field of mixed methods research embraces diversity and encourages researchers to combine different perspectives, approaches, and methods to achieve meaningful insights. Navigating such rich diversity can pose challenges that can benefit from ongoing, critical self-reflection. This article introduces the concept of cultural humility in the context of mixed methods research. We aim to enhance understanding of how cultural humility can foster awareness and encourage constructive critique of assumptions, policies, and practices in the field of mixed methods research. This article serves as a foundational resource for mixed methods researchers, practitioners, and scholars to embrace cultural humility in the field. We close with a set of prompts to spark critical self-reflection and dialogue within the field.

This article proposes a novel methodology designed to identify past/ancient identities from archaeological information available in rural landscapes. It consists of a quantitative stage based on network analysis followed by a qualitative analysis based on phenomenology. Such methodology contributes to the field of mixed method research in two ways. First, in contrast to existing approaches that use people’s opinions to collect data, the proposed methodology extracts information from archaeological remains and the landscape; second, it extends the scope of topics considered by the field of mixed method research. The methodology was applied to the study of identity evolution in the Romano-British period in Shropshire. The results illustrate the potential of the proposed methodology to understand the formation/evolution of past identities.

Flexible and integrative treatment (FIT) services in Germany make it possible to shift mental health inpatient care to day- and outpatient care. This paper presents the results of the mixed methods, participatory process evaluation (= PE) of the PsychCare clinical trial, which compares the outcomes of nine FIT departments to those of eight standard mental health care services. This PE integrates diverse data using a program theory and data transformation approach. It shows various implementation types of FIT services and how their processes and structures are distinct from those of control conditions, also experienced by service users. It contributes to mixed methods research by showing that the PE methodological frame is a valuable tool to effectively involve service users and other stakeholders.
德国的灵活综合治疗（FIT）服务使精神疾病住院治疗转为日间和门诊治疗成为可能。本文介绍了 "心理护理"（PsychCare）临床试验的混合方法参与式过程评估（=PE）的结果，该评估比较了九个 FIT 部门与八个标准心理保健服务部门的结果。该参与式过程评估采用项目理论和数据转换方法整合了各种数据。它展示了 FIT 服务的各种实施类型，以及它们的流程和结构与对照条件下的流程和结构的不同之处，这些也是服务使用者所体验到的。该研究表明，PE 方法框架是有效吸引服务使用者和其他利益相关者参与的重要工具，从而为混合方法研究做出了贡献。

The intersection of mixed methods and community-based participatory research (MMCBPR) provides a promising approach to address health inequities. Drawing from strengths of mixed methods (which provides multiple channels for individuals to share experiences) and community-based participatory research methods (which center and empower marginalized communities in research), MMCBPR allows for the development of impactful and relevant research. This article contributes to the field of mixed methods research by illustrating a novel application of MMCBPR to a pilot research study aimed at understanding community resources and needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We demonstrate feasibility for MMCBPR methods assessing multilevel structural and social determinants of health during times of social, political, and economic uncertainty and highlight challenges experienced in adopting this approach.
