A Mixed Methods Investigation of Mixed Methods Sampling Designs in Social and Health Science Research
Abstract
A sequential design utilizing identical samples was used to classify mixed methods studies via a two-dimensional model, wherein sampling designs were grouped according to the time orientation of each study's components and the relationship of the qualitative and quantitative samples. A quantitative analysis of 121 studies representing nine fields in the social or health sciences revealed that more studies utilized a sampling design that was concurrent (66.1%) than sequential (33.9%). Also, identical sampling designs were the most prevalent, followed by nested sampling, multilevel sampling, and parallel sampling, respectively. Qualitative analysis suggested that across a number of studies the researchers made statistical generalizations that were not sufficiently warranted—culminating in interpretive inconsistency and contributing to crises of representation, legitimation, integration, and politics.

A purposive sampling approach was used to identify and recruit individuals with knowledge of EBI implementation and sustainment in each service system, consistent with mixed-methods sampling recommendations.
“Consistent with recommendations for sampling in mixed-methods, a purposive sampling approach was used to identify and recruit the most relevant individuals with knowledge of the EBI implementation and sustainment in each service system (Aarons, Fettes, Sommerfeld, & Palinkas, 2012; Collins, Onwuegbuzie, & Jiao, 2007; Teddlie & Yu, 2007).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
