This webinar provides an overview of mixed methods research, and will be
followed by a webinar on mixed studies reviews. These two approaches are
used to combine the strengths of quantitative and qualitative methods and
to compensate for their respective limitations. This webinar is structured
in two main parts. First, the worldviews associated with mixed methods are
presented. Afterward, we will present the main types of mixed methods
research designs and techniques as well as guidance for planning,
conducting, and appraising mixed methods research.
