Participatory Transformative Mixed Methods

Participatory transformative mixed methods is a research design that embeds both a participatory action framework and a transformative paradigm within mixed methods inquiry. Both quantitative and qualitative data are collected in active collaboration with marginalized or underserved communities, with the explicit aim of producing findings that challenge inequity, empower participants, and drive social change. Donna Mertens' transformative paradigm and the mixed methods tradition of Creswell and Plano Clark jointly inform the approach.
