Using a Joint Display for Building Integration in a Sequential Study: Informing Data Collection for a Participatory Second Phase

In the explanatory sequential mixed methods design, methods-level integration occurs between quantitative and qualitative phases. In typical use of this design, statistical findings alone may inform the qualitative phase. However, in studies that apply a participatory approach in the second phase, t...

Summary:In the explanatory sequential mixed methods design, methods-level integration occurs between quantitative and qualitative phases. In typical use of this design, statistical findings alone may inform the qualitative phase. However, in studies that apply a participatory approach in the second phase, this can be a missed opportunity to incorporate participant perspectives. This Research Note presents the integration of quantitative and qualitative survey results from phase one of an explanatory sequential study using a joint display, which is then used to inform the development of qualitative data collection prompts. This strategy contributes to the field of mixed methods research by detailing the process for undertaking building integration to inform an explanatory sequential study’s second participatory qualitative phase.
