Main Results:

  • Complementarity was the most frequent purpose of mixing (46.6%).
  • Nearly a quarter of articles (23.86%) mixed methods for multiple purposes.
  • MMR was pragmatically used to evaluate programs and answer diverse research questions.

Conclusions:

  • MMR in community psychology advances ecological analysis and challenges individual-level paradigms.
  • MMR centers participant and community member experiences in research.
  • MMR unpacks paradoxes, increasing the usefulness and impact of research findings.
