Mixed methods refer to the integration of qualitative and quantitative methods in an evaluation or research project. The approach involves thinking about this integration at all stages of the project, from the formulation of the research questions to the literature review and data analysis. Mixed methods can make a greater descriptive, explanatory or predictive contribution than either qualitative or quantitative methods taken separately.
