グローバルサージャリー研究の再考：混合研究法（mixed-methods studies）の役割

Global Surgery has gained prominence in global health but suffers from persistent data gaps. Current research is either overly generalized, lacking local relevance, or narrowly interventionist, missing context. These "misfit" approaches stem from power imbalances and limited local involvement. Mixed-methods research, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, offers a balanced solution, uncovering not just "what" but also "how" and "why." Despite its potential, mixed-methods research remains underutilized in Global Surgery. A shift toward this approach is essential to generate actionable, context-sensitive insights and close critical data gaps.
