Preface
The Sage Handbook of Mixed Methods Research Design is a trailblazing edited book involving 80 chapter
authors — the first to focus on community-sourced design topics and illustrative studies from around the
world. Each of the 37 seminal chapters provides practical guidance for researchers tackling the complex
processes involved in mixed methods research design. Many of the chapters point to essential new and
emerging mixed methods design practices for researchers to know about and be able to perform.
Importantly, the contributors to this Handbook are geographically diverse and represent both internation-
ally renowned scholars, as well as those who are rapidly becoming established as innovators.
As an essential resource for anyone interested in the contemporary, emerging, and evolving practice of
mixed methods research and scholarship — a community-sourcing approach drew upon the expertise and
experiences of our 12-member International Advisory Board to ensure the relevance of the design topics
explored in this Handbook for our varied and dynamic audience needs. New and established researchers
and evaluators will find the up-to-date literature as well as the historical and future-forward design dis-
cussions helpful for a field orientation. Instructors and learners enrolled in courses and workshops will
find the in-depth descriptions and discussions of illustrative studies helpful for bridging theory with real
world practice examples. Research teams will find the discussions and examples of innovative ways to
collaborate on designs helpful for realizing desired outcomes.
The book is organized into six sections led by an interdisciplinary group of 13 internationally renowned
editorial section leads. To help researchers, the 35 chapters are organized in six sections with introductory
and concluding chapters.
• Handbook Introduction (Chapter 1) offers an overview of what you can expect, how the sections comple-
ment each other, and the unique perspectives afforded by a curated collection of chapters focused on mixed
methods research design.
• Section 1 (Chapters 2–6) relates the evolving dialogues from authors who have experienced and contributed
to the many crossroads of mixed methods research design practices.
• Section 2 (Chapters 7–12) details the craft attitude necessary for navigating specific components of the
mixed methods research design process, such as emergence, sampling, data, ethics, visualization, and
integration.
• Section 3 (Chapters 13–21) expands what is currently known about how we might meaningfully use cultural
contexts and intersections with other design types to inform mixed methods research practice innovations.
• Section 4 (Chapters 22–26) leverages technology applications across design processes to advance new pos-
sibilities for innovative integrations.
• Section 5 (Chapters 27–31) navigates research cultures in dynamic mixed methods research design pro-
cesses to make explicit the ways our designs and team practices are informed by many cultural influences.
• Section 6 (Chapters 32–36) explores emerging directions for design innovations by identifying and discuss-
ing how new things are coming together in ways we have not yet seen, or how existing things are coming
together in new ways.
• Handbook Conclusion (Chapter 37) explores the emerging and exciting future for mixed methods research
design through discussions of four design topics and a concluding call for researchers to be bold and open
in their thinking about design possibilities, be creative in their design practices, and be adaptive to their
design contexts.

Acknowledgements
The idea for this Handbook was the outcome of a conversation about the limited practical mixed methods
research design guidance from a global perspective with Alysha Owens at Sage following the publication
of my 2018 Innovation in Mixed Methods Research. I had the great fortune to have Colette Wilson and
Umeeka Raichura as steadfast supporters throughout its development. Thank you very much for your
guidance and patience and to everyone involved in this project at Sage.
That such a Handbook was possible remains the consequence of the trailblazing efforts of Abbas
Tashakkori and Charles Teddlie as the editors of the 2003 and 2010 editions of The Sage Handbook of
Mixed Methods of Social & Behavioral Research and the many contributors whose chapters I have often
referred to. I am indebted to the members of the global mixed methods community who have contributed,
and continue to do so, to design practice advancements. My Editor role was made easier by the involvement
of incredible chapter authors, section leads, and members of the International Advisory Board. Together
with the Section Leads, we thank each of the 78 chapter authors for their insightful design work and will-
ingness to engage in our review processes and respond productively to our comments. I thank each of the
13 section leads for their tireless efforts in supporting chapter authors and working with me to realize a truly
unique and innovative vision for each of their sections. I also thank the 12 International Advisory Board
members for their major role in supporting the inclusion of global and culturally diverse perspectives.
To complement the International Advisory Board members, additional academic colleagues who
appear in the list below offered their expertise and provided constructive comments during their review of
chapters. My sincere apologies if I have inadvertently missed anyone.

efforts over three years involving more than 80
mixed methods researchers from around the world
to distil key learnings and guidance. Curating an
inclusive collection was essential to capture the
diversity of discussions and debates that abound
in relation to just about everything about mixed
methods research design—if you ask several
researchers what it is, how we do it, where it
begins and ends—I expect you will hear many
different responses. Enriching our global mixed
methods research community design conversation
with learning about and from diverse perspectives
contributes meaningfully to design practice inno-
vations. My aim as Handbook Editor is to advo-
cate for inclusion and innovation as I support and
further mixed methods research design conversa-
tions that are useful for a global audience. The
development of the Handbook was inspired by
several questions including (but not limited to):
• What ought to be the scope of mixed methods
research design?
• What mixed methods research design perspec-
tives would benefit others to learn from and
advance the field?
• What processes and outcomes ought to be
involved in future-forward mixed methods
research design practices?
• What recent practice advances ought to be incor-
porated into the design of future-forward mixed
methods research?
Design has been a frequently discussed and debated
topic within the field of mixed methods research
(e.g., Tashakkori et  al., 2021; Tashakkori &
Teddlie, 2003, 2010) and I argue that the Handbook
advances our design conversations in important
and new ways. See the Handbook Conclusions
(Chapter 37) for my revisit of these questions. I
begin the Introduction to this Handbook with
clarifying key terminology and perspectives that
influenced its development.
KEY HANDBOOK TERMINOLOGY
By mixed methods research design, I refer to the
emerging processes that initiate at a study’s

Mixed Methods Research Design:

conceptualization, that continue through to its
conclusions and encompass the outcomes (e.g.,
proposals, publications) generated along the way.
With this definition, I expand the conceptualiza-
tion of mixed methods research design beyond the
initial study formulation process and outcome. I
use this definition to further explicate my view of
the design of mixed methods research as para-
doxically feasible and unwieldy:
Feasible because the design of mixed methods
research has been widely described in the literature
as necessary to initiate prior to beginning research
for the purpose of planning research procedures,
to continue throughout the research process for
the purpose of describing the research logic, as
well as to depict the procedures employed after
the research is completed for reflecting on threats
to validity and research integrity as well as for
comparison with other similarly designed studies
(e.g., Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018; Tashakkori
et  al., 2021). Unwieldy because the design of
mixed methods research is so ubiquitous in the
literature, it is often difficult to pinpoint exactly
what it entails and how these understandings have
evolved over time. (Poth et al., 2022, p. 274)
The paradox is evident within the wide-ranging
design topics and illustrative examples discussed
throughout the Handbook chapters. To that end,
this Handbook explores and addresses the ques-
tion: What ought to be the scope of mixed methods
research design?
KEY HANDBOOK PERSPECTIVES
I offer an overview of the Handbook’s key numbers
in Figure 1.1 as evidence of its commitment to a
global audience and practice-orientation. The

DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 3
development of this Handbook involved more than
80 contributors who played various functions as
chapter authors, Section Leads and International
Advisory Board members, all aimed at increasing
the relevance of this Handbook for a global audi-
ence. From its initial conception, I imagined this
Handbook as an opportunity to bring together
global perspectives in a curated collection to help
mixed methods researchers navigate the design
complexities they are likely to encounter. It was my
intention for the Handbook to reflect diverse per-
spectives and divergent viewpoints because, as
Fàbregues, Escalante-Barrios, et  al. (2021) noted:
“such engagement will lead to valuable insights
that could lay the basis for further discussion
needed to ensure the healthy development of the
field” (p. 2). We asked subject matter experts to use
illustrative examples to advance practical guidance
in their chapters about different aspects of the com-
plex processes involved in mixed methods research
design. Together, this collection of 37 chapters plus
Introductions and Conclusions for each of the six
sections point to established as well as essential
new and emerging mixed methods design practices
that researchers should know about and be able to
perform. To that end, this Handbook explores and
addresses the question: What mixed methods
research design perspectives would benefit others
to learn from and advance the field?
A commitment to inclusion of global perspec-
tives can be seen in the country of primary affilia-
tion of Handbook contributors shown in Figure 1.2.
The shading represents the 16 countries from
which the chapter authors hail, and icons distin-
guish the location of the Section Leads, the Editor
and International Advisory Board members. Note
that the icons do not differentiate if more than one
contributor is from the same location. Importantly,
in addition to the geographical diversity of
Handbook contributors, career stages are also rep-
resented; these include internationally renowned
scholars, as well as those who are rapidly becom-
ing established as innovators. Noteworthy is the
less familiar map which I have used to represent
the geographical locations of Handbook contribu-
tors. Figure 1.2 uses a 1954 Buckminster Fuller
Airocean projection of the world map onto the
surface of an icosahedron, which is a variant of
the Dymaxion map (also known as Fuller map) to
reduce the distortion of the relative size of areas
in a flat drawing. The intention was for this pro-
jection to avoid having a “right way up”, which
supports the efforts to reflect diverse and novel
perspectives in this Handbook.
After more than two decades as an instructor,
researcher, reviewer and author, I have come to
recognize three essential influences on my think-
ing about mixed methods research design. I share

them here to make explicit my epistemological
orientation to the Handbook.
1 Integration as the distinguishing feature of
mixed methods research design. Without evi-
dence of integration in a design, I do not consider
it to be mixed methods research. In this way, I
preserve important distinctions between multi­
method and mixed methods that others have
also made explicit in descriptions of key char-
acteristics (i.e., Creswell & Plano Clark, 2018),
thoughtful arguments (i.e., Greene, 2015), and
discussions of mixed analysis strategies (i.e.,
Hitchcock & Onwuegbuzie, 2020). I also recog-
nize that my thinking continues to evolve with
experience and commit to making such evolu-
tions explicit in my writing. A key example is that
while I have defined mixed methods research
design in the current Handbook as necessitating
the integration of qualitative and quantitative
data, I am becoming more open to arguments
highlighting the constraints introduced by cat-
egorizing data as either qualitative or quantita-
tive. I attribute this shift to my experiences with
data formats, such as Tweets and videos, that, in
my view, can transcend this dichotomy. I might
need to revisit my current conceptions of inte-
gration within mixed methods research design in
the near future. I consider monitoring evolutions
in my thinking as a key part of engaging as a
lifelong mixed methods research learner.
2 Representing diverse perspectives is key to
creating an inclusive global mixed methods
research community. Without seeking others
who think differently or work in unfamiliar
research contexts and valuing their perspec-
tives, we risk ill-informed assumptions about the
applicability of design practices across diverse
contexts. Through seeking and valuing diverse
perspectives, I commit to an inclusive approach
where I advocate for opportunities for authors
to represent voices, experiences and perspectives
that have not previously been represented in pub-
lications such as this Handbook. I acknowledge
that there remains much work to be done within
the field of mixed methods research and the
growing body of literature to guide this work—
for example, mixed methods research design
intersections with Indigenous, community-based,
and participatory research approaches (e.g.,
DeJonckheere et al., 2019; Mertens, 2023). I am
eager to learn from others and assimilate those
learnings in future researcher, author, reviewer
and editorial roles.
3 Accessible opportunities for respectful shar-
ing and discussing of emerging ideas are
central to advancing mixed methods research
design practice. As mixed methods research pro-
fessionals, we risk stagnation and isolation with-
out opportunities to share and receive feedback on
our ideas. Technology-mediated interactions, such
as webinars and emails, have greatly expanded
the frequency and accessibility of opportunities
that at one time could only occur in-person at
conferences and meetings. I commit to engaging
with others respectfully in forming relationships
while interacting and supporting others. I am
mindful of the need for and an advocate of public
scholarship to increase audience reach through
(but not limited to) open access mixed methods
research-focused public talks and publications.
Now to explore the why, what and how of the
Handbook.
WHY DOES THE HANDBOOK FOCUS ON
DESIGN?
The Handbook’s focus on mixed methods research
design is timely to promote innovation in our
thinking and actions. The Handbook is made pos-
sible by building upon the previous contributions
of others discussing the topic of mixed methods
research design, including the trailblazing work of
Abbas Tashakkori and Charles Teddlie as the
Editors of the 2003 and 2010 editions of The
SAGE Handbook of Mixed Methods of Social &
Behavioral Research, and the many chapters and
articles that have since been published. In a virtual
special issue focused on the design of mixed
methods research, I and colleagues describe some
of the remaining design challenges that research-
ers face alongside a discussion of seminal and
contemporary design advancements (Poth et  al.,
2022). Key among those challenges involves the
lack of transparency in mixed methods research
design descriptions that is highlighted as a key
quality criterion (e.g., Fàbregues, Molina-Azorin,
et al., 2021; Hirose & Creswell, 2022; O’Cathain,
2010; Onwuegbuzie & Poth, 2016). Noteworthy,
Guetterman and colleagues (2022) define quality
as a broader concept than validity and legitimation
that refers to “how well a mixed methods study
was conducted through scientifically accepted

DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 5
design and procedures” (p. 2). To this end, we
support the advocacy efforts calling for authors to
report the essential design aspects, including
“what they did, how they did, and why they did it”
(Zhou & Wu, 2022, p. 275).
I, along with others, consider mixed methods
research designs as prevalent, recognizable and
rapidly evolving, and researchers need to be pre-
pared for the changing conditions in which they
will conduct studies. Access to information about
how researchers plan for and navigate changeable
conditions would help guide researchers in pre-
paring more authentic design descriptions in their
proposals and reports. Mixed methods researchers
need to be able to think and act “complexively”
and creatively in research design. Over the last
decade, the ever-increasing recognition and use
of mixed research approaches to solve complex
societal issues have created great interest in and
opportunities for novel thinking about designs. I
advocate for further innovation in mixed methods
research design as we tackle societal issues within
increasingly complex conditions. The key charac-
teristic of complex conditions is its changeability,
meaning that mixed methods research designs can
no longer be assumed to be fixed and conducted
in predetermined ways. Instead, researchers must
pay close attention and adapt appropriately to the
changing study conditions. The adaptive prac-
tice ideas advanced in my book, Innovations in
Mixed Methods Research: A Practical Guide
to Integrative Thinking with Complexity (Poth,
2018), have gained acceptance as researchers
increasingly recognize the complexity inherent
in their studies. I point to the wise guidance from
Pat Bazeley (2018) that “this complexity, evident
across many fields of action and inquiry, demands
methods able to investigate a problem from multi-
ple viewpoints, with flexibility to adapt to chang-
ing situations, yet able to produce credible results
convincing to diverse audiences” (p. 4). To that
end, this Handbook explores and addresses the
question: What processes and outcomes ought
to be involved in contemporary mixed methods
research design?
WHO ARE THE AUDIENCES FOR THIS
HANDBOOK?
As an essential resource for anyone interested in
the contemporary, emerging and evolving prac-
tice of mixed methods research and scholarship,
this Handbook is written for those with various
roles and experience in mixed methods research
design. These include (but are not limited to)
graduate students, instructors and learners of
mixed methods research courses or workshops,
individual researchers or members of a mixed
methods research team, research associations
and communities, research managers and
reviewers of mixed methods research. In
particular:
• New and established researchers and evaluators
will find the up-to-date literature as well as the
historical and future-forward design discussions
helpful for a field orientation.
• Instructors and learners enrolled in courses and
workshops will find the in-depth descriptions and
discussions of illustrative studies helpful for bridg-
ing theory with real-world practice examples.
• Research teams will find the discussions and
examples of innovative ways to collaborate on
designs helpful for realizing desired outcomes.
To that end, this Handbook explores and addresses
the question: What recent practice advances ought
to be incorporated into the design of future-for-
ward mixed methods research?
WHAT UNIQUE INSIGHTS DOES THIS
HANDBOOK OFFER?
Individual chapters offer practical guidance
grounded in illustrated examples from authors’
own experiences and existing literature related to
a specific mixed methods research design topic.
Each of the six Handbook sections has its own
Introduction highlighting the contribution of each
chapter, which I encourage you to read. Here in
the Handbook Introduction, Chapter 1 and in
Figure 1.3, I offer an overview of each section
by briefly describing what you can expect and
how the sections complement each other and the
unique perspectives afforded by a curated col-
lection of chapters. By studying the information
below and the individual section introductions,
readers can locate the chapters relevant to their
needs. Readers may also discover additional chap-
ters that pique their interest. Readers should not
feel restricted to reading the chapters in order, but
instead to read ahead and return as they are com-
pelled. The Handbook Conclusions (Chapter 37)
allude to ideas woven across the sections to describe
four emerging and exciting future directions for
mixed methods research design conversations
and practices.

THE SAGE HANDBOOK OF MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 6
Section 1: Inspiring Diversity and
Innovation in Mixed Methods Design
With a focus on design diversity and innovation,
Section 1’s chapters relate the evolving design
dialogues from authors who have experienced and
contributed to the many crossroads of mixed
methods research design practices. Section co-
leads Sergi Fàbregues and José F. Molina-Azorin
begin the section Introduction, “Evolving Tensions
and Conversations in Mixed Methods Research
Design Approaches”, with an orientation to the
diversity and lack of consensus around the con-
struct of mixed methods designs and suggest that
the continuing coexistence of multiple perspec-
tives serves the field well. Chapters 2–4 discuss
design typologies and approaches, whereas
Chapters 4–6 focus on the design of mixed meth-
ods for advocacy and knowledge. In the Section 1
Conclusion, “Future Tensions and Design
Conversations in the Mixed Methods Field”,
Molina-Azorin and Fàbregues point to the highly
changeable mixed methods research design
conceptions that are likely to evolve alongside
design practice expansions. We can infer from this
first section that mixed methods research design
developments are likely to help researchers solve
specific problems and promote a better, more
equitable society.
In Chapter 2, “Revisiting Mixed Methods
Research Designs Twenty Years Later”, John
W. Creswell and Vicki L. Plano Clark explore
the evolution of their prevalent design typolo-
gies and reflect on their changing perspectives
of mixed methods research design. In Chapter 3,
“Mixed Methods Design in Historical Perspective:
Implications for Researchers”, Joseph A. Maxwell
makes the case for interactive design approaches
that are more inclusive of studies that meet the cri-
teria for mixed methods research (even when the
authors may not identify them as such) as benefit-
ting the field. Chapter 4, “Mixed Methods Designs
to Further Social, Economic and Environmental
Justice” by Donna M. Mertens, details the poten-
tial of mixed methods designs informed by a trans-
formative lens to realize research that is closely
Figure 1.3 Overview of Handbook chapters and unique contributions of sections

DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 7
aligned with notions of social, economic and envi-
ronmental justice. In Chapter 5, “Developments
in Mixed Methods Designs: What Have Been the
Dominant Pathways and Where Might They Take
Us in the Future?”, after revisiting four key histor-
ical influences on the evolution of designs, Katrin
Niglas encourages flexible thinking, and mixed
methods research design adaptations and adjust-
ments as useful for addressing wicked programs
and grand societal challenges. In Chapter 6, “The
Role of Methodological Paradigms for Dialogic
Knowledge Production: Using a Conceptual Map of
Discourse Development to Inform MMR Research
Design”, Dawn Freshwater and Jane Cahill describe
a conceptual map of discourse development. The
conceptual map is used to explain the epistemologi-
cal process and relational activity through which
the mixed methods research paradigm and knowl-
edge is generated, emphasizing critical reflection
for informing research design.
Section 2: The Craft of Mixed
Methods Research Design
To detail the craft of mixed methods research
design, Section 2’s chapters present innovative
approaches and practical guidance for navigating
key design components. In Section 2 Introduction,
“The Craft of Mixed Methods Research Design”,
co-leads Sophia L. Johnson and Judith
Schoonenboom aptly describe the craft attitude as
needed for addressing the complexity inherent in
designing and conducting mixed methods
research. They frame the craft of mixed methods
design as a product of the interplay among an
iterative and adaptive decision-making process
(techne), continuous reflection on the ethical
implications of those decisions (phronesis), and
general knowledge (episteme). In the Section 2
Conclusion, “The Craft of Mixed Methods
Research Design”, Schoonenboom and Johnson
highlight the key contribution of Chapters 7–12 to
elucidate a craft approach to mixed methods
design decisions, which are complex, multi-step,
detailed, and iterative. The Section 2 chapters
offer practical navigation guidance to researchers
in crafting mixed methods research design.
In Chapter 7, “Embracing Emergence in Mixed
Methods Designs: Theoretical Foundations and
Empirical Applications”, Manuela De Allegri and
Julia Lohmann feature a discussion of definitions
and theoretical foundations for emergent mixed
methods designs, and guide its implementation
through their illustrative healthcare design example
in Malawi. In Chapter 8, “The Methods-Inference
Map: Visualizing the Interactions Between Methods
and Inferences in Mixed Methods Research”,
Judith Schoonenboom describes the methods-infer-
ence map using an illustrative secondary educa-
tion example in New Zealand that offers practical
visualization guidance for the interactions between
methods and inferences in mixed methods research.
In Chapter 9, “Towards Sampling Designs that
are Transparent, Rigorous, Ethical and Equitable
(TREE): Using a Tree Metaphor as a Sampling
Meta-Framework in Mixed Methods Research”,
Julie A. Corrigan and Anthony J. Onwuegbuzie
demonstrate the TREE meta-framework for devel-
oping sampling designs using a multi-country
higher education COVID-19 study. In Chapter 10,
“Data Integration as a Form of Integrated Mixed
Analysis in Mixed Methods Research Designs”,
Susanne Vogl introduces a conceptualization of
integration that considers the blurring bounda-
ries between qualitative or quantitative data clas-
sifications. She uses focus groups with kids to
illustrate design innovations addressing complex
mixed methods research questions in action. In
Chapter 11, “Ethical Issues and Practices for Mixed
Methods Research in an Era of Big Data”, Roslyn
Cameron and Heinz Herrmann weave ethical con-
siderations within their discussion of a conceptual
framework depicting the technology relationships
in big data across two studies. These studies illus-
trate the Fourth Industrial Revolution era involving
digital transformations, including the adoption of
artificial intelligence and algorithms across systems
and societies. In Chapter 12, “Building the Logic
for an Integrated Methodology: Mixed Method
Grounded Theory as an Example of Constructing
a Methodology to Guide Design and Integration”,
Elizabeth G. Creamer, Cherie D. Edwards, and
Cassandra McCall demonstrate how to integrate
mixed methods into another research methodology
by identifying compatibilities and tensions between
the philosophical assumptions and core proce-
dures of the methodologies involved. Their fully
integrated approach to methodology integration
embeds multilevel mixing from its conception, as
demonstrated by their illustrative mixed methods–
grounded theory study involving Canadian mental
health organizations.
Section 3: Expanding Mixed Methods
Design Approaches
To expand what is currently known about how we
might meaningfully use cultural contexts and
intersections with other design types to inform
mixed methods research practice innovations,
Chapters 13–21 illustrate design intersections and
cultural considerations in real-world research

THE SAGE HANDBOOK OF MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 8
contexts. In the Section 3 Introduction, “Expanding
Beyond Typology-Based Mixed Methods
Designs”, section co-leads Peggy Shannon-Baker
and Jessica T. DeCuir-Gunby describe their aim
for Section 3 as expanding typology-based mixed
methods design across the two themes: cultural
considerations in mixed methods design and
design combinations of mixed methods with other
methodological approaches. Together, the nine
chapters feature embedded illustrative examples
to showcase how their innovative designs look in
practice across global contexts and how the design
contributes to practice advancements beyond their
current study contexts. In the Section 3 Conclusion,
“Moving Beyond Tradition: The Need for
Expanded and Culturally Relevant Mixed Methods
Design Typologies”, DeCuir-Gunby and Shannon-
Baker imagine a future for mixed methods
research with calls for more culturally relevant
design practices throughout mixed methods
research designs. In so doing, they imagine adapt-
ing mixed methods designs to their cultural con-
texts, encouraging participatory approaches, and
increasing researcher reflexivity.
Chapters 13–16 describe cultural considera-
tions in mixed methods design. In Chapter 13,
“Exploring Interlocking Relationships of Race,
Gender and Class with an Intersectionality-
Informed Mixed Methods Research Design
Framework”, Jenny Douglas describes the contri-
bution of the theoretical frame of intersectionality
within a mixed methods study of cigarette smok-
ing among African-Caribbean teen girls to the
development of relevant and appropriate public
health research and promotion initiatives address-
ing inequalities in healthcare delivery. In Chapter
14, “Indigenous Cultural Values Instrument
Development: Using Mixed Methods Research”,
Mehdi Taghipoorreyneh elucidates how a sequen-
tial mixed methods research design integrated
the cultural values of three major ethno-cultural
groups (i.e., Malay, Chinese and Indian) within the
multicultural country of Malaysia. He details the
mixed methods procedures involving a three-round
Delphi study and correspondence analysis of scale
for generating the necessary reliability and valid-
ity evidence for the Indigenous Cultural Values
instrument. In Chapter 15, “What Can Mixed
Methods Partnerships Learn from Kaupapa M¯aori
Research Principles?”, Peter Rawlins, Philippa
Butler, Spencer Lilley, and Maggie Hartnett
describe the principles underpinning Kaupapa
M¯aori research, an Aotearoa New Zealand
Indigenous research approach, in the context of
mixed methods research. The He Awa Whiria
(braided river) metaphor, which conceptualizes
how Western and Indigenous research approaches
can work together to create a whole that is more
than the sum of the parts, holds great potential
for guiding indigenous-involved and culturally
appropriate mixed methods design practices that
are transferable beyond their study context. In
Chapter 16, “Prioritizing Cultural Responsiveness
in Mixed Methods Research and Team Science
with Underrepresented Communities”, Tera R.
Jordan and Maya Bartel relate a team-based mixed
methods research design prioritizing cultural
responsiveness with underrepresented communi-
ties. The authors advance the need for effective
cross-disciplinary teamwork to tackle increasingly
complex societal issues and inequality in research.
Gleaned from a comprehensive review of relevant
literature and experiential reflection, this chapter
offers novel insights, practical strategies and inno-
vative solutions for engaging underrepresented
communities in mixed methods research.
Chapters 17–21 detail design combinations
of mixed methods with other methodological
approaches. In Chapter 17, “Using Participatory
Methods in Randomized Controlled Trials of
Complex Interventions”, Jenevieve Mannell and
Audrey Prost highlight the enormous value of par-
ticipatory qualitative methods in randomized con-
trolled trials (RCT) for advancing mixed methods
evaluation design practices of complex interven-
tions. The authors’ illustrative example elucidates
the embedded mixed methods design of a cluster
RCT to evaluate an intervention to prevent vio-
lence against women in Samoa that uses participa-
tory methods to ensure appropriate randomization
procedures, inform outcome measurement and
engage stakeholders in interpreting the results
using visual images. In Chapter 18, “Illustrating
the Mixed Methods Phenomenological Approach
(MMPR)”, Joanne Mayoh, Talia Thompson and
Shanlee Davis advance the use of MMPR for com-
plementarity purposes and demonstrate its poten-
tial for supporting equity, diversity and inclusion
using an example to explore physical activity and
quality of life in adolescents with Turner syn-
drome. In Chapter 19, “Intersection of Mixed
Methods and Case Study Research (MM+CSR):
Two Design Options in Educational Research”,
Loraine D. Cook and Vimala Judy Kamalodeen
use higher education examples from the
Caribbean context to distinguish the key features
and future potential for case study mixed meth-
ods (CS-MMR) and mixed methods case study
(MM–CSR). In Chapter 20, “Harnessing Mixed
Methods for Research Instrument Development
and Legitimation”, Vanessa Scherman and Lisa
Zimmerman describe the value of integration and
advance practical tools for guiding mixed methods
instrument development. In Chapter 21, “Mixed
Methods-Grounded Theory: Best Practices for
Design and Implementation”, Michelle C. Howell,

DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 9
Wayne A. Babchuk and Timothy C. Guetterman
advance a set of strategies, guidelines or best
practices to help guide mixed methods-grounded
theory research practice.
Section 4: Designing Innovative
Integrations with Technology
To design innovative integrations with technology
and advance new possibilities, Section 4’s chap-
ters leverage technology applications across
design processes. In “Designing Innovative
Integrations with Technology”, Section Lead
Timothy C. Guetterman asks readers if they have
“considered how technology can help to achieve
integration in mixed methods research” (p. 311).
He goes on to define integration and explain how
the Section 4 description evolved to focus on tech-
nology after reading the initial chapter drafts.
Together, the collection of Chapters 22–26 dem-
onstrates how software, technology and technol-
ogy-oriented research offer additional ways to
mine and mix data. In the Section 4 Conclusion,
“The Untapped Potential of Technology for
Integration”, Guetterman outlines future direc-
tions to promote the use of technology in mixed
methods research integrations. A unique contribu-
tion to the conversation involves his descriptions
of advocacy roles for mixed methods research
practitioners in the field, those who act as method-
ologists tasked with advancing practices, and
software developers who are working on new
ways to embed technology in mixed methods
research design practices.
In Chapter 22, “Using Software for Innovative
Integration in Mixed Methods Research:
Joint Displays, Insights, and Inferences with
MAXQDA”, Udo Kuckartz and Stefan Rädiker
explore the use of software in mixed analysis and
identify interactivity in their illustrative exam-
ples as a key factor for software-based integration
and joint display representation. In Chapter 23,
“Grounded Text Mining Approach: An Integration
Strategy of Grounded Theory and Textual Data
Mining”, Mitsuyuki Inaba and Hisako Kakai pro-
vide practical guidance through the description
and real-data illustration of four iterative stages
of a grounded text-mining approach using focus
group interview data obtained from Japanese
graduate students and professors of nursing. In
Chapter 24, “A ‘Mixed Methods Way of Thinking’
in Game-based Research Integrations”, Lisbeth M.
Brevik uses game-based mixed methods research
with teenage boys as co-researchers in Norway
to demonstrate the value of integrating various
voices and perspectives—and the differences
between them—when studying complex phenom-
ena. In Chapter 25, “Integrating Secondary Data
from Ethnically and Racially Minoritized Groups
in Mixed Methods Research”, Daphne C. Watkins
and Natasha C. Johnson examine the challenges
and propose solutions for guiding the integration
of secondary data from ethnically and racially
marginalized groups into mixed methods research
designs. In Chapter 26, “Beyond the Joint Display
in Mixed Methods Convergent Designs: A Case-
Oriented Merged Analysis”, Carolina Bustamante
offers practical guidance for selecting cases of
exceptional teachers of Spanish participating in
an online professional development program and
using graphics to facilitate insights.
Section 5: Navigating Research
Cultures in Mixed Methods Design
To guide how researchers navigate research cul-
tures in mixed methods research, Chapters 27–31
explicate how research culture influences designs
across global research contexts. Authors were
asked, to the extent possible, to make explicit the
ways their designs are informed by cultural influ-
ences and how their designs and practices adapted
to their unique research contexts. Section co-lead
Elizabeth Creamer in “From Margin to Center:
The Design Implications of Cultural Component
with Mixed Methods”, highlights the elusive
nature of the concept of culture and the difficulties
faced by researchers in recognizing cultural influ-
ences on their designs. In the Section 5 Conclusion,
“Future Directions for Research Cultures in
Mixed Methods Designs”, section co-lead Elsa
Lucia Escalante-Barrios recognizes this section’s
significant and relevant contributions to design
conversations advancing complex designs where
features were determined by unique characteris-
tics of cultural groups. She also emphasizes the
need to make visible the ongoing methodological
dialogues to consolidate new ways of implement-
ing mixed methods.
In Chapter 27, “Culturally Responsive Mixed
Methods Evaluation Design”, Jori N. Hall and
Ayesha S. Boyce discuss the essential role
of researcher reflexivity in their illustrative
example of a culturally responsive mixed
methods evaluation of a US-based STEM project.
A key contribution of this chapter involves
recognizing the various influences of culture on
and within the evaluation from the individuals
(i.e., evaluators and stakeholders) involved to
the geographical (i.e., US) and disciplinary
(i.e., STEM) contexts for the evaluation.
Importantly, Hall and Boyce call for considering

THE SAGE HANDBOOK OF MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 10
the applicability of their culturally responsive
mixed methods stance with values-engaged,
equity-focused, and anti-racist commitments
and acknowledge culturally responsive
stances as necessary and credible frameworks
for mixed methods inquiry. In Chapter 28,
“Integrating a Four-Step Japanese Cultural
Narrative Framework, Ki-Shou-Ten-Ketsu, into a
Mixed Methods Study”, Taichi Hatta explicates
how a cultural narrative framework from Japan,
ki-shou-ten-ketsu, informed the analysis of a
qualitative dialogue in a mixed methods study
of cancer treatment. In Chapter 29, “Leveraging
Mixed Methods Community-based Participatory
Research (MMCBPR) in Diverse Social and
Cultural Contexts to Advance Health Equity”, P.
Paul Chandanabhumma, Annika Agni and Melissa
DeJonckheere illustrate the value of MMCBPR
to meaningfully engage socially and culturally
diverse US Indigenous communities and advance
well-being and health equity. In Chapter 30,
“Cultural Diversity in Intervention Designs:
A Chinese Illustrative Example”, Hongling
Chu, Xuejun Yi and Huieming Liu illustrate the
impacts of cultural diversity on large-scale mixed
methods intervention studies by describing a
health-prevention process evaluation conducted
in 120 villages across five provinces in culturally
diverse rural China. In Chapter 31, “Examining
the Influences of Spanish Research Culture in
Systematic Observation with Mixed Methods”,
M. Teresa Anguera, Eulàlia Arias-Pujol, Francisco
Molinero and Luca Del Giacco explicate how
observational methodology as mixed methods
is influenced by the Spanish research cultural
context where it takes place.
Section 6: Exploring Design
Possibilities and Challenges for Mixed
Methods Research for the Future
To imagine future possibilities for mixed methods
research, Chapters 32–36 explore emerging direc-
tions for design innovations by identifying and
discussing how new things are coming together in
ways we have not yet seen, or how existing things
are coming together in new ways. In the Section 6
introduction, “Exploring Possibilities and
Challenges for Mixed Methods Research for the
Future”, section co-leads Peter Rawlins and
Maggie Hartnett orient readers to three threads
(i.e., evidence, people, and technology) and the
interconnections among those threads that they
asked authors to address. In the Section 6
Conclusions, “Where to Next in Exploring
Possibilities and Challenges for Mixed Methods
Research for the Future?” Rawlins and Hartnett
revisit the key threads to discuss the ideas
advanced by each of the chapters and connect
them with their own lived experiences.
In Chapter 32, “Visualizing the Process: Using
Visuals to Teach and Learn Mixed Methods
Research”, Peggy Shannon-Baker demonstrates
their use of visuals for building emerging research-
ers’ capacities. In Chapter 33, “Toward the
Future Legitimacy of Mixed Methods Designs:
Responsible Mixed Methods Research for
Tackling Grand Challenges for the Betterment of
Society”, José F. Molina-Azorin and Michael D.
Fetters advocate the use of mixed methods designs
for the betterment of society and guide research-
ers in achieving academic, practical and social
impact using illustrative examples addressing
timely grand challenges. In Chapter 34, “Realizing
Methodological Potentials and Advantages of
Mixed Methods Research Design for Knowledge
Translation”, Nataliya V. Ivankova, Jami L.
Anderson, Ivan I. Herbey, Linda A. Roussel and
Daniel Kim enhance translational research by its
intersection with mixed methods as an integrative
thinking guide for addressing complex knowledge
translation problems. In Chapter 35, “Opportunities
and Challenges for a Transdisciplinary Mixed
Methods Research Future”, Mandy Archibald
relates the possibilities of transdisciplinary mixed
methods research arguing its usefulness as a col-
laborative approach for addressing wicked social
problems. In Chapter 36, “Mapping Design Trends
and Evolving Directions Using This Handbook”,
John Creswell, Cheryl N. Poth and Peter Rawlins
convey mixed methods design trends repre-
sented by the Sage Handbook of Mixed Methods
Research Design and use a roadmap metaphor
to describe four evolving directions for mixed
methods research design.
Handbook Conclusions
Finally, I conclude the Handbook with a short
chapter, “An Emerging and Exciting Future for
Mixed Methods Research Design: Handbook
Conclusions”. In discussing four design topics, I
weave my own perspectives with ideas alluded to
in the Handbook sections and individual chapters
illustrating some evolving landscapes of design
terminology, illuminating many complex influ-
ences on design practices, representing diverse
design perspectives and assimilating practice evo-
lutions in design education. I speculate about the
challenges likely to be encountered for each topic

DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 11
and suggest actions aimed at moving the field
forward. I conclude by advocating that both crea-
tivity and openness are vital for inspiring the
design of mixed methods research applicable for
global contexts and the education of mixed meth-
ods researchers capable of design innovations for
the yet unknown future.
WHAT INFLUENCED THIS HANDBOOK’S
DEVELOPMENT?
Central influences on the development of this
Handbook involve key events, decisions and
people as well as a commitment to diversity,
equity and inclusion (DEI). While my description
of these influences represents a departure from
what is typical to include in a handbook’s intro-
ductory chapter, my inclusion reflects a commit-
ment to transparency about this Handbook’s
development. It is my hope that making explicit
details, such as how chapter topics were decided
and how contributors came to be involved, can
provide an example for others to follow in future
publications. I hope it ultimately opens doors and
opportunities for new perspectives and contribu-
tors to become involved in future discussions and
publications, and for the global mixed methods
research community to benefit and learn from the
description of this Handbook’s development.
Key Events, Decisions and People
As I reflected upon the key events, decisions and
people influencing the development of this
Handbook, I began to sketch what now appears as
Figure 1.4. In representing the development as a
path, it is important to note that the sequence of
the key events is non-linear and both influencing
to and influenced by the people involved in each
key event. This Handbook resulted from a
unique set of circumstances, involving myself as
the Editor working closely with 11 dedicated
Section Leads and a 12-member International
Advisory Board who together have generated a
product that otherwise would have been impossi-
ble. I use the metaphor of a symphony composer
and conductor to describe my role as Handbook
Editor. My editor role involved supporting the
development of the sections and integrating them
Figure 1.4 Key events, decisions and people influencing the development of this Handbook
Source: Author created.

THE SAGE HANDBOOK OF MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 12
into a cohesive handbook. Readers should note the
essential role of the chapter authors to make pos-
sible the ‘performance’ of this Handbook.
The launching event involved the editor devel-
oping a handbook proposal that was subsequently
subject to peer review and feedback. The proposal
required making the case for this Handbook’s
focus on mixed methods research design and
detailing potential chapter topics and contributors.
In this work, I relied on two sources for inspira-
tion: my previous interactions with global mixed
methods research community members and my
reading of novel mixed methods research publica-
tions. I tracked, over several previous years, ideas
for design topics that emerged from conversations
at conferences and during workshops as well as
from reading literature. I also noted people I met
and heard present at various in-person and virtual
conferences and webinars who were introspec-
tive in their examination of design experiences,
dilemmas, and insights. As an example, I con-
sulted notes I made after seeking out to speak with
Jenny Douglas in 2019 at the 3rd Mixed Methods
Research Caribbean Conference held in Trinidad
and Tobago about an intersectional-informed
mixed methods study she had completed. Likewise,
I spoke with Taichi Hatta at the 2019 Mixed
Methods International Research Association Asia
Regional Conference in Hamamatsu, Japan about
his recent cultural narrative framework. Note that
while these researchers joined this Handbook as
subject matter experts and served as lead chapter
authors, not all researchers who appeared in the
initial proposal were then invited to contribute.
I credit the community sourcing of contributors
(see next section for details) that played an essen-
tial role in expanding my network of potential
Handbook contributors.
Having secured a publishing contract for this
Handbook based on the initial proposal, I then
recruited Section Leads and an International
Advisory Board. As an interdisciplinary group
of 11 established authors, Section Leads shaped
each of the six Handbook sections and worked
closely and tirelessly with me as Editor and with
the chapter authors within their sections. The
12-member International Advisory Board rep-
resenting a range of established and emerging
scholars from varied disciplines and geographi-
cal locations helped identify design topics and
potential chapter authors. They also played a
vital role in supporting the development of chap-
ters by providing constructive feedback as peer
reviewers.
A community-sourcing approach informed
how we (i.e., the Editor, Section Leads and
International Advisory Board members) worked
together to increase the real-world relevance of the
design practices discussed in this Handbook. We
did this by seeking input from diverse members
of the global mixed methods research commu-
nity about the design dilemmas they experienced
and their perspective of areas of design practice
in need of further development. We also sought
ideas about who might be suitable for writing
on these design topics, and developed systems to
work as efficiently and effectively as possible with
one another. Together, the input shaped the ques-
tions that Handbook sections sought to examine,
the design topics covered by individual chapters,
and the subject matter experts ultimately invited
to contribute a chapter. The resulting Handbook
reflects a mix of chapters that are authored by
newly established or familiar authors, solely or in
pairs and teams. These chapter contributors then
worked tirelessly with the Editor, editorial Section
Leads and International Advisory Board members
for readers to benefit from their lived design expe-
riences and expertise.
Together, the Editor and Section Leads
extended invitations to authors to submit chapter
proposals on specific topics. We invited authors
to negotiate the focus of the topic and describe
the illustrative examples they would use to
offer practical guidance. In recruiting authors
and design topics for the Handbook, we were
mindful to provide space for both new ideas and
for disagreements with established ones. Once
agreement about the foundational elements of
the chapter was reached, a chapter template and
writing guidelines were provided to the authors
along with a submission deadline approximately
six months henceforth. Throughout the initial
chapter development, the Editor and Section
Leads interacted regularly to discuss and support
authors. Once chapters were deemed ready
for peer review, a chapter author contract was
extended and the Editor organized the in-depth
review involving the Editor, Section Leads and
two peers to provide constructive feedback to
authors. Peer reviewers were usually International
Advisory Board members. When required, we
sought additional perspectives from specific
content experts. An editorial letter was compiled
to guide the chapter revisions. In some cases,
more than one round of revisions was supported.
As part of the finalizing process, the Editor
embedded suggestions for cross-referencing
among Handbook chapters. As Editor, I saw cross-
referencing as important to help readers make
connections within and across the Handbook
chapters and sections. Once authors reviewed the
cross-referencing suggestions and prepared files
for submission, the chapter was deemed to be

DILEMMAS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR MIXED METHODS RESEARCH DESIGN 13
finalized. Once all the chapters were submitted,
production involving copy-editing, typesetting,
proofing and marketing began!
Actioning A Commitment to
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)
Inclusion efforts of Handbook contributors with
diverse perspectives, as well as Handbook chap-
ters advancing equitable design practices and
featuring illustrative examples reflective of the
wide-ranging contexts in which mixed methods
research design takes place, are a few of the
ways we actioned DEI during its development
and in this Handbook itself. I note the need for
future efforts to further expand the diverse per-
spectives, equitable practices and illustrative
examples included in this Handbook. I believe
these efforts are vital to increasing the impact of
mixed methods research.
Chapters advancing equitable design practices
can be seen in discussions of design approaches
that empower stakeholders and promote ethical
research practices appear across the Handbook
leveraging— for example, an innovative TREE
sampling framework (Chapter 9), Maori-involved
mixed methods research in New Zealand (Chapter
15), student involvement as co-researchers
(Chapter 24), integration of secondary data from
ethnically and racially marginalized groups
(Chapter 25), and mixed methods community-
based participatory research with diverse US
Indigenous communities (Chapter 29). We have
a lot to learn from experts advancing equita-
ble design practices and impactful experiential
accounts, and the Handbook aims to provide this
access.
Chapters featuring illustrative examples reflec-
tive of the wide-ranging contexts in which mixed
methods research design takes place can be seen in
the more than 50 unique study contexts providing
practical guidance here. It is noteworthy that more
than half of the illustrative examples featured in
this Handbook take place in contexts beyond
North America. This introduces readers to mixed
methods research contexts that may be less famil-
iar and gives access to experiential accounts of
real-world design processes to help them navigate
their own cultural research contexts—for exam-
ple, obstetric services in Malawi (Chapter 7), ciga-
rette smoking among African-Caribbean teen girls
(Chapter 13), violence prevention against women
in Somalia (Chapter 17), challenges experienced
by nursing graduate students and professors in
Japan (Chapter 23) and communications during
psychotherapy interactions in Spain (Chapter 31).
Again, there are many more to explore. I leave
you here to embark on a mixed methods research
design journey!

Simon the Cellarer.

Old Simon, the Cellarer, keeps a rare store
Of Malmsey and Malvoisie
And Cyprus, and who can say how many more!
For a chary old soul is he,
A chary old soul is he.
Of Sack and Canary he never doth fail,
And all the year round there is brewing of ale;
Yet he never aileth, he quaintly doth say,
While he keeps to his sober six flagons a day;
But ho! ho! ho! his nose doth show
How oft the black Jack to his lips doth go.
But ho! ho! ho! his nose doth show
How oft the black Jack to his lips doth go.
Dame Margery sits in her own still room,
A matron sage is she;
From thence oft at Curfew is wafted a fume
She says it is “Rosemarie:”
She says it is “Rosemarie:”
But there’s a small cupboard behind the back stair,
And the maids say they often see Margery there.
Now Margery says that she grows very old,
“And must take a something to keep out the cold!”
But ho! ho! ho! old Simon doth know,
Where many a flask of his best doth go.
But ho! ho! ho! old Simon doth know,
Where many a flask of his best doth go.
Old Simon reclines in his high-back’d chair,
And oft talks about taking a wife;
And Margery is often heard to declare:
“She ought to be settled in life!”
“She ought to be settled in life!”
But Margery has (so the maids say) a tongue,
And she’s not very handsome, and not very young;

So somehow it ends with a shake of the head,
And Simon he brews him a tankard instead;
While ho! ho! ho! he will chuckle and crow,
What! marry old Margery? no! no! no!
While ho! ho! ho! he will chuckle and crow,
What! marry old Margery? no! no! no!

Washington, Star of the West.
There’s a Star in the West that will never go down,
Till the records of valor decay;
We must worship its light, for it is our own,
And liberty bursts in its ray.
Shall the name of Washington ever be heard
By a freeman, and thrill not his breast?
Is there one out of bondage that hails not the name
Of Washington, Star of the West?
War! war to the knife—be enthrall’d or ye die!
Was the echo that waked up the land;
But it was not this frenzy that promoted the cry,
Nor rashness that kindled the brand.
He threw back the fetters, he headed the strife,
Till man’s charter was firmly restored;
Then he pray’d for the moment when liberty and life
Would no longer be pressed by the sword.
Oh! his laurels were pure, and his patriotic name
In the pages of the future shall dwell,
And be seen in all annals, the foremost in fame,
By the side of a Hoffer and Tell.
Then cherish his memory, the brave and the good,
At Mount Vernon the hero now rests;
Peace, peace to his ashes, our father is dead!
Great Washington, Star of the West!
