Σύνοψη	Participatory Intervention Mixed Methods (PIMM) is a research design that embeds community members as co-investigators in the planning and delivery of an intervention, while collecting and integrating both quantitative outcome data and qualitative experiential data. The design bridges participatory action research traditions with the rigor of mixed methods, enabling researchers to simultaneously measure whether an intervention works and understand how and why it works from participants' own perspectives.	Action research is a collaborative research methodology in which researchers work with practitioners and community members to investigate a problem, implement change, and evaluate outcomes, cycling through reflection, action, and learning. Developed by Kurt Lewin (1946), action research bridges research and practice, aiming simultaneously to produce knowledge and practical improvement.
