Abstract

Mixed methods research (MMR) systemically and intentionally integrates quantitative and qualitative methods to explain, explore, or contextualize social phenomena. What such synergies offer is particularly well suited for a deep and broad inquiry into public health–particularly research in global public health justice. This chapter illuminates connections between MMR and justice studies, highlighting their associated epistemic contours. The reader is guided to consider how MMR may deftly address global public health justice issues, with consideration given to mental models, researcher positionality (e.g., social location), and data integration. Anchoring the chapter is a sampling of ideas, techniques, and practices showcased through four authentic studies.
