The present methodological discussion describes and reflects on the challenges with decisions made at the planning, implementation, and closure phases of a transformative mixed methods research study aimed at exploring the social connectedness of Burmese, Congolese, Iraqi, and Somali resettled refugees and their perceptions of well-being and belongingness. Although the field of mixed methods research calls for advancement in advocacy, participation, and innovation, little research provides clear guidance in this process. Therefore, this article contributes to the field by providing tangible recommendations to direct mixed methods researchers in their work with vulnerable, cross-cultural populations, promoting a transformative approach to scholarship with vulnerable populations that creates innovative research alongside the community, appropriately representing and empowering participant voices
