Generating metainferences in mixed methods research
Metainferences, or the insights derived from integrating quantitative and qualitative inferences at the end of a study, are crucial for achieving added value and synergy in mixed methods research. There is an ongoing need to understand how researchers generate metainferences, especially considering their pivotal role in helping researchers achieve full quantitative and qualitative integration. While some examples of metainferences generation are …
Understanding mechanisms of change in a family-based preventive mental health intervention for refugees by refugees in New England
Transnational migration of refugees is associated with poor mental health, particularly among children. We conducted a pilot trial of the Family Strengthening Intervention for Refugees (FSI-R), using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach to deliver a home-based intervention 'for refugees by refugees' to improve family functioning and child mental health. N = 80 refugee families in the Greater Boston area participated in the stu…
Applying Core Quality Criteria of Mixed Methods Research to an Empirical Study
Quality criteria have been advanced for the mixed methods field, but the elements are often too numerous for new researchers, do not incorporate diverse perspectives (e.g., stakeholders and professional associations), and apply the criteria. This methodological article advances a shortlist of six criteria synthesized from diverse, recent sources. The six criteria are a rationale for mixed methods; quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods ques…
Generating a New Outcome Variable Using Mixed Methods in a Randomized Controlled Trial
The use of mixed methods research in intervention trials mostly centers around using quantitative data to assess primary outcomes and qualitative data primarily for exploratory purposes, to supplement, and/or explain quantitative findings. We describe a novel mixed methods procedure that generates an integrated outcome variable used to reexamine unexpected findings that resulted from an advance care planning interventional randomized controlled t…
Methodological Rigor in Mixed Methods
As mixed methods continues to grow as a discipline, work to define what constitutes quality mixed methods research has become an emergent conversation. While progress has been made in this area, there has been some debate as to what quality entails and how to achieve it. This article contributes to mixed methods by highlighting the importance of rigor as an interdisciplinary baseline for quality evaluation and proposes a rigorous mixed methods fr…
Methodological Approaches to Understanding Causes of Health Disparities
Understanding health disparity causes is an important first step toward developing policies or interventions to eliminate disparities, but their nature makes identifying and addressing their causes challenging. Potential causal factors are often correlated, making it difficult to distinguish their effects. These factors may exist at different organizational levels (e.g., individual, family, neighborhood), each of which needs to be appropriately c…
The Importance of Evaluating Health Disparities Research
Health disparity populations are socially disadvantaged, and the multiple levels of discrimination they often experience mean that their characteristics and attributes differ from those of the mainstream. Programs and policies targeted at reducing health disparities or improving minority health must consider these differences. Despite the importance of evaluating health disparities research to produce high-quality data that can guide decision-mak…

A concern exists that mixed methods studies do not contain advocacy stances. Preliminary evidence suggests that this is not the case, but to address this issue in more depth the authors examined 13 mixed methods studies that contained an advocacy, transformative lens. Such a lens consisted of incorporating intent to advocate for an improvement in human interests and society through addressing issues of power and social relationships. Included for…
Using Transcendental Phenomenology to Explore the 'Ripple Effect' in a Leadership Mentoring Program
Several approaches exist for organizing and analyzing data in a phenomenological qualitative study. Transcendental phenomenology, based on principles identified by Husserl (1931) and translated into a qualitative method by Moustakas (1994) , holds promise as a viable procedure for phenomenological research. However, to best understand the approach to transcendental phenomenology, the procedures need to be illustrated by a qualitative study that e…

Mixed methods research designs in counseling psychology.
Over the past 25 years, numerous calls for increased meth-odological diversity and alternative research methods have been made (Gelso, 1979; Goldman, 1976; Howard, 1983). These calls have led to important discussions about incorpo-rating qualitative methods in counseling research and includ-ing qualitative studies in traditional publication outlets (Hosh-mand, 1989; Maione & Chenail, 1999; Morrow & Smith, 2000). They have also led to discussions …
