Mobile health technology adoption across generations: Narrowing the digital divide (2018, methodology): “Data were integrated using a triangulation protocol, which combines findings to develop a more comprehensive picture (O’Cathain et al., 2010).”
A guide to using the Theoretical Domains Framework of behaviour change to investigate implementation problems (2017, methodology): “Triangulation is the ‘process of studying a problem using different methods to gain a more complete picture’ [55].”
Using mixed methods in health research (2013, methodology): “One approach is to analyse the two data types separately and to then undertake a second stage of analysis where the data and findings from both studies are compared, contrasted and combined.(19) The quantitative and qualitative data are kept analytically distinct and are analysed using techniques us”
The Value of Mixed Methods Research (2017, background): “Mixed methods also help researchers cultivate ideas for future research (O’Cathain et al., 2010).”
