Interpreting discordant results in mixed-method research: Data triangulation, participant voices, and epistemic issues in health research
In this article, we discuss unexpected methodological challenges revealed during interim analysis of data from a mixed-methods study with female Mexican immigrants. ' Tertulias ' was a randomized controlled trial of an innovative peer support group model for reducing social isolation and depression among women immigrants from Mexico using a Community-Driven, Community-Engaged Research (CD-CEnR) approach. We describe discordant data obtained using…
Zoom & WhatsApp digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) enhance community engaged research with women immigrants from Mexico
This article demonstrates how digital information and communication technologies (ICTs) (Zoom/WhatsApp) unexpectedly and counterintuitively proved to be valuable tools for community-engaged health research when, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were integrated into a research study testing a peer support group intervention with female immigrants from Mexico. Because of pandemic restrictions, we changed the study protocol to hold meet…
Revealing the power of peer support in the lives of women immigrants from Mexico
To address high rates of social isolation and depression among female Mexican immigrants, we are testing Tertulias (Spanish, conversational gatherings), an innovative peer support group intervention. Our anthropologically inspired theoretical architecture integrates gendered emplacement theory, women's funds of knowledge, and cultural and contextual situatedness. We used a community-driven, community-engaged research (CD-CEnR) design, involving 5…
