Abstract

The methodological purpose of this article is to generate practical guidance for researchers studying complex phenomena through an adaptive case study-mixed methods (CS-MM) design. We describe CS-MM design adjustments made in response to our rapidly changeable research conditions that make complex phenomena challenging to study. We leverage Guetterman & Fetters’ (2018) CS-MM design recommendations while discussing specific adaptive design practice areas and advancing new insights gleaned from an expanded 21-month timeline when compared with a previous 4-month CS-MM study. We draw upon Mike Fetters’ extensive scholarly contributions while striving to continue his legacy for a better world and embodying Mike’s “kind mentoring” approach in our team-based study of the complex phenomena involving the response to a public health emergency.

研究复杂现象的研究人员的适应性案例研究--混合方法设计实践

本文在方法论上的目的是为通过适应性案例研究-混合方法（CS-MM）设计研究复杂现象的研究人员提供实用指导。我们描述了 CS-MM 设计的调整，以应对我们快速变化的研究条件，这些条件使得复杂现象的研究具有挑战性。我们借鉴了 Guetterman & Fetters（2018 年）的 CS-MM 设计建议，同时讨论了具体的适应性设计实践领域，并提出了与之前为期 4 个月的 CS-MM 研究相比，从 21 个月的扩展时间表中获得的新见解。我们借鉴了迈克-费特斯的广泛学术贡献，同时努力继承他的遗产，为建设一个更美好的世界而奋斗，并在以团队为基础的研究中体现迈克的 "亲切指导 "方法，研究应对公共卫生突发事件的复杂现象。

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.
