    Integrating Quantitative and Qualitative Results in Health Science Mixed Methods Research Through Joint Displays

    Timothy C. Guetterman , and colleagues

    Background Mixed methods research is an important approach for investigating complex, nuanced health-related topics. A promising innovation to facilitate integration of qualitative and quantitative data is the use of joint displays that bring data together visually to draw out new insights. This study identifies exemplars by analyzing different types of joint displays.

    What This Study Found In an analysis of 19 previously published joint displays, the most prevalent types were statistics-by-themes and side-by-side comparisons. Innovative joint displays connect findings to theoretical frameworks or recommendations. Exemplars represent mixed methods integration, present integrated results, and yield new insights.

    Implications

    • The authors conclude that joint displays provide an effective structure for discussion of integrated analyses and call for increased use of joint displays to represent mixed methods analyses.
