  7. A Fully Longitudinal Mixed Methods Case Study Design: An Example Based

    Plano Clark et al. (2015) defined longitudinal research as "a research approach in which the researcher repeatedly collects and analyzes data over time" (p. 299). They reviewed 32 self-identified mixed methods studies using a longitudinal mixed methods design (LMMD) to examine how this design was used and issues that may occur when conducting longitudinal mixed methods research.

  13. Qualitative longitudinal research in health research: a method study

    Qualitative longitudinal research (QLR) comprises qualitative studies, with repeated data collection, that focus on the temporality (e.g., time and change) of a phenomenon. The use of QLR is increasing in health research since many topics within health involve change (e.g., progressive illness, rehabilitation). A method study can provide an insightful understanding of the use, trends and ...
