Abstract

This chapter introduces mixed methods research (MMR) prevalence studies, their value to the MMR scholarly community and disciplines, and the challenges associated with undertaking such studies. MMR prevalence studies provide an indication as to the frequency at which MMR studies are being reported within discipline-specific literature which, over time, demonstrates the utility and acceptance of MMR within a discipline. However, as MMR studies are
increasingly being reported, it is also notable that there are many inconsistencies in reporting (Skivington et al., 2021). To better understand how to overcome these inconsistencies and challenges, we draw upon an MMR prevalence study we conducted in the field of health management.
