                1. when using mixed methods, they are of equal status
                2. why mixed methods?
                  1. Validity- to support qual and quant data

                            1. Credibility- both approaches enhance integrity of findings
                              1. Utility- more useful to practioners
                              2. Disadvantages

                                                    1. consult colleagues
                                                    2. mixed methods are increasingly common in social research
