To explore the food safety perceptions, beliefs, and practices of primary food preparers in families with children 10 years of age and younger, a mixed methods convergent parallel design and constructs of the Health Belief Model were used.
The study used mixed methods (convergent parallel) design.
In response, this paper describes an ethnographic approach to process evaluation in the context of a mixed methods convergent design within an intervention framework [ 9].
A mixed methods triangulated convergent design.
The employed mixed method was the convergent parallel strategy where both quantitative and qualitative data collection took place concurrently.
Methods/Design: This is a convergent mixed method design.
The proposed study will use a convergent mixed method design to identify individual-, provider-, and county-level factors that influence CRC screening.
The design of the study will combine concurrent and sequential elements within a mixed-methods convergent parallel design [ 16].
Mixed methods study with convergent parallel design: Cross sectional study by means of a self-administered, ad hoc, anonymous questionnaire to assess the observance of the ethical values of the CIH according to the participants.
Convergent parallel mixed methods allows for the convergence or combination of quantitative and qualitative data to ensure a comprehensive analysis of a research question [27].
