mixed-methods research

a study that combines aspects of both qualitative research and quantitative research so as to understand the phenomenon of interest more fully. For example, a researcher studying a disease could conduct a focus group with a set of individuals who would share their experiences in dealing with the disease, and then supplement those qualitative findings by surveying a different set of individuals to obtain quantitative knowledge of risk factors for the disease.
