“…We used a qualitative approach (41) to explore contextual factors and as previously described by Mâsse et al, we used concepts from Rogers' Diffusion of Innovations, Social Cognitive and Organizational Change theories (42)(43)(44)(45) to guide the quantitative examination of implementation and the hierarchy of theoretically derived influences on it (40) . We analysed data from the qualitative and quantitative methods independently and integrated data during the interpretation stage (46) .…”

Objective: To study the implementation of a school-based healthy eating (HE) model one year after scale-up in British Columbia (BC). Specifically, to examine implementation of Action Schools! BC (AS! BC) and its influence on implementation of classroom HE activities, and to explore factors associated with implementation. Design: Diffusion of Innovations, Social Cognitive and Organizational Change theories guided our approach. We used a mixed-methods research design including focus group interviews (seven schools, sixty-two implementers) and a cross-sectional multistage survey to principals (n 36, 92 % response rate) and teachers of grades 4 to 7 (n 168, 70 % response rate). Self-reported implementation of classroom HE activities and reported use of specific AS! BC HE activities were primary implementation measures. Thematic analysis of focus group data and multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression analyses of survey data were conducted. Setting: Elementary schools across BC, Canada. Subjects: Thirty-nine school districts, thirty-six principals, 168 grade 4 to 7 teachers. Results: Forty-two per cent of teachers in registered schools were implementing AS! BC HE in their classrooms. Users were 6·25 times more likely to have delivered a HE lesson in the past week. Implementation facilitators were school champions, technical support and access to resources; barriers were lack of time, loss of leadership or momentum. Implementation predictors were teacher training, selfefficacy, experience with the physical activity component of AS! BC, supportive school climate and parental post-secondary education. Conclusions: Our findings reinforce that continued teacher training and support are important public health investments that contribute to successful implementation of school-based HE models after scale-up.

An integrative mixed-methods analysis examined traditional beliefs as associated with beliefs about self-care during pregnancy and with alcohol abstinence among young adult women from two rural U.S.-Mexico border communities. Quantitative (measured scale) variables and qualitative thematic variables generated from open-ended responses served as within-time predictors of these health-related outcomes. A weaker belief that life is better in big cities was associated with stronger self-care beliefs during pregnancy. Also, a weaker belief that small towns offer tranquil environments was associated with total abstinence from alcohol. Regarding the Hispanic Paradox, these results suggest that a critical appreciation of cultural traditions can be protective, as this avoids stereotypical or idyllic views of urban or rural lifeways, and promotes self-protective beliefs and behaviors.Keywords family traditions; rural lifestyle; mixed methods; Hispanic paradox; alcohol use The "Hispanic Paradox"Among women from rural communities, traditional lifeways (traditionalism) may promote certain healthy outcomes (Coe, Attakai, Papenfuss, Giuliano, Martin, & Nuvayestewa, 2004); by contrast, a loss of cultural traditions during the process of acculturative change may promote disease or disorder. Recent Hispanic health research has identified an Hispanic paradox among low-acculturated Hispanics/Latinos,1 that is characterized by unexpectedly lower rates of adverse health outcomes observed among the least acculturated Mexican immigrants relative to their more acculturated Mexican American peers. This paradox has been observed within three health-related areas: the perinatal health of Hispanic/Latina women, mortality rates from cardiovascular disease, and rates of psychiatric disorder (Vega et al., 1998).Perinatal studies of low-birth-weight infants (Balcazar, Krull, & Peterson, 2001; FuentesAfflick, Hessol, & Pérez-Stable, 1999;Gould, Madan, Qin, & Chavez, 2003) NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript to more acculturated and affluent Mexican American women. Similarly, in communitybased studies of diagnosed psychiatric disorders, low-acculturated migrant Mexican farmworkers, when compared with native-born Mexican Americans and with non-Hispanic White Americans, exhibited the lowest rates of psychiatric disorder (Alderete, Vega, Kolody, & AguilarGaxiola, 2000). Some investigators have argued that methodological flaws produce these paradoxical effects (Palloni & Morenoff, 2001;Smith & Bradshaw, 2006), whereas others have argued that observed confounds do not obviate these paradoxical effects (Morales, Mara, Kington, Valdez, & Excarce, 2002). The recent assertion by Smith and Bradshaw (2006) that the Hispanic paradox does not exist is based on a study that uses a Spanish surname as a proxy measure for Hispanic ethnicity and also defines health advantage narrowly by using mortality as their major health outcome. Unfortunately, several of these studies have not examined deeper aspects of culture, ...

There exist three general strategies in mixed methods research (Creswell 2003;Hanson et al 2005): sequential procedures, concurrent procedures and transformative procedures. Inherent in mixed methods research is that all stages of the study are mixed, i.e.…”
