Participatory Multiphase Mixed Methods

Participatory multiphase mixed methods is a research design that integrates participatory action research principles into a multiphase mixed methods framework. Community members or stakeholders are active co-investigators across multiple sequential or concurrent phases, each combining quantitative and qualitative strands, so that findings from earlier phases directly shape the design of later ones. The result is a longitudinal, iterative programme of inquiry aligned with social justice and practical impact goals.
