Participatory Concurrent Triangulation Mixed Methods

Participatory concurrent triangulation mixed methods is a research design that embeds a participatory worldview — prioritising community involvement, co-ownership, and social change — within a concurrent triangulation structure, in which quantitative and qualitative data are collected at the same time, analysed independently, and then merged to compare or validate findings. The design is used when researchers need both statistical breadth and lived-experience depth, and when the community affected by the research must be meaningfully involved throughout.
