概要	Participatory multilevel mixed methods is a research design that combines the collaborative ethos of participatory research with the analytical depth of multilevel data collection and the complementary power of mixed quantitative and qualitative methods. It is widely applied in community health, education, and social intervention research where phenomena operate simultaneously at individual, group, organizational, and community levels, and where local stakeholders must co-own the inquiry.	Mixed methods research is a systematic research design in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected and analysed within a single study. Formalised by Creswell and Plano Clark (2003, 3rd ed. 2018), it offers three principal design variants — concurrent, sequential, and transformative — and strengthens findings through triangulation across both data strands.	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.
