Abstract

This article reflects on the importance of designing and applying mixed-method research in mental health to understand the studied phenomena better. Using different means at the research stages, quantitative and qualitative approaches can enrich data collection and analysis and their interpretation. However, some studies presented as mixed have characteristics of multi-method research. Therefore, this article highlights some methodological elements of mixed research, tools for evaluating the quality of research, and reports developed with mixed methodologies so that researchers can have more precise direction in their research efforts.
