Abstract

The intersection of mixed methods and community-based participatory research (MMCBPR) provides a promising approach to address health inequities. Drawing from strengths of mixed methods (which provides multiple channels for individuals to share experiences) and community-based participatory research methods (which center and empower marginalized communities in research), MMCBPR allows for the development of impactful and relevant research. This article contributes to the field of mixed methods research by illustrating a novel application of MMCBPR to a pilot research study aimed at understanding community resources and needs during the COVID-19 pandemic. We demonstrate feasibility for MMCBPR methods assessing multilevel structural and social determinants of health during times of social, political, and economic uncertainty and highlight challenges experienced in adopting this approach.

结合混合方法和社区参与式研究方法，在 COVID-19 大流行期间确定邻里层面的需求

混合方法与社区参与式研究（MMCBPR）的交叉为解决健康不平等问题提供了一种很有前景的方法。MMCBPR 吸取了混合方法（为个人分享经验提供了多种渠道）和社区参与式研究方法（在研究中以边缘化社区为中心并赋予其权力）的长处，有助于开展有影响力的相关研究。本文阐述了 MMCBPR 在一项试点研究中的新颖应用，旨在了解 COVID-19 大流行期间的社区资源和需求，从而为混合方法研究领域做出贡献。我们展示了在社会、政治和经济不确定时期评估健康的多层次结构和社会决定因素的 MMCBPR 方法的可行性，并强调了在采用这种方法时所遇到的挑战。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Mixed Methods Research serves as a premiere outlet for ground-breaking and seminal work in the field of mixed methods research. Of primary importance will be building an international and multidisciplinary community of mixed methods researchers. The journal''s scope includes exploring a global terminology and nomenclature for mixed methods research, delineating where mixed methods research may be used most effectively, creating the paradigmatic and philosophical foundations for mixed methods research, illuminating design and procedure issues, and determining the logistics of conducting mixed methods research. JMMR invites articles from a wide variety of international perspectives, including academics and practitioners from psychology, sociology, education, evaluation, health sciences, geography, communication, management, family studies, marketing, social work, and other related disciplines across the social, behavioral, and human sciences.
