Muhtasari	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.
