Mixed methods
Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used in the study design. Using both approaches, in combination, provides a better understanding of research problems than using either approach alone. Sample sizes vary based on methods used. Data collection involves collecting and analyzing both quantitative and qualitative data in a single study or series of studies. Interpretation is continual and can influence stages in the research process.
