Muhtasari	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.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
