Definition

Mixed method structure

Sequential QUANÍ¢qual

Sequential collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data, beginning with quantitative data, for the primary purpose of determining the integrated HTN-HIV care cascades.

Mixed methods function

Expansion

We used quantitative data to determine the performance/outcomes of integrated HTN-HIV care cascades and qualitative data to elucidate the barriers and facilitators of implementing integrated HTN-HIV care.

Mixed methods process

Connecting the data

The qualitative data set built upon the quantitative data set. The quantitative data set determined the integrated HTN-HIV care cascades and identified the successes and performance gaps. The qualitative data set contextualized the quantitative data by exploring the perceived barriers and facilitators of integrated HTN-HIV care.
