The goal of this article is to present an integrative approach to crafting mixed research (MR) studies that highlights the interconnectivity of design decisions, choice of method, and the quality of integration throughout the study. Defining characteristics of MR are its distinction as a methodology that differs from a quantitative or qualitative research methodology and the importance of points of integration within the study. The first purpose is to discuss selective characteristics defining MR as a distinct methodology and include in this discussion the concept of integration. Design encompasses a set of interrelated decisions regarding the research, sampling, and validity designs of a study. The second purpose is to detail selective examples of published design frameworks to illustrate their interconnectivity as it relates to integration. Method of data collection is a critical dimension of design and integration. The third purpose is to examine how choice of method, namely, a case study method, impacts design decisions and, subsequently, integration. My selection of the case study method was based on the method's versatility in terms of exploring, explaining, or describing phenomena, and developing theory or testing theory (Yin, 2014). Also, as noted by Yin (2014), the case study method is applicable for attaining quantitative and qualitative forms of evidence. Subsequently, it is a method that would support a MR design. To provide empirical evidence of the applicability of the integrative approach toward impacting the quality of integration, I conducted a four-phase analysis of a published study. I conclude by summarizing the points of integration noted in the analysis and commenting on the degree of transparency as it relates to design, method, and integration as presented in the write-up of the study. The dimensions of the integrative approach are presented in Figure 1.
