Resum	The Participatory Mixed Methods Matrix is a research design that embeds a joint-display integration matrix within a participatory research framework. Community members or other stakeholders co-design the study, co-collect quantitative and qualitative data strands, and then jointly interpret the matrix where both strands are displayed side by side. The approach operationalises the participatory principle — those affected by a problem share authorship of its investigation — while using the rigour of mixed methods integration.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
