सारांश	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.	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.
