Getting Started with Mixed Methods Research: A Primer

etermining the appropriate approach to addressing one's research question(s) can be challenging for scholars at all levels. Notably, one may find themselves in a situation in which a single research paradigm or strategy is insufficient to robustly study the phenomenon in question. What, then, is the best course of action to take to execute the study with high fidelity? In this commentary, the authors intro-duce mixed methods research (MMR) as a potential solu-tion to this concern and describe how MMR can be applied across diverse disciplinary contexts. They conclude the commentary by outlining several considerations for con-ducting studies that adopt a mixed methods design to aid readers in structuring their own MMR projects
