本文介绍了一系列的研究设计相结合的定性和定量的方法，使用的优先顺序模型，依赖于互补的原则。首先，关于两种方法的优先次序的决定选择定性或定量方法作为主要方法。其次，关于测序的决定决定了补充方法是否将作为主要方法的初步或后续方法。这两个决定产生四个基本的研究设计：（CI）初步定性方法在定量研究，（B）初步定量方法ii？（c）在定量研究中采用后续定性方法;（Ii）在定性研究中采用后续定量方法。结论考虑了进一步的研究设计和多方法研究所需的专业知识。
This article describes a series of research designs for combining qualitative and quantitative methods, using a Priority-Sequence Model that relies on the principle of complementarity. First, a decision about the priority of the two methods selects either a qualitative or a quantitative approach to be the principal method. Second, a decision about sequencing determines whether the complementary method will serve as either a preliminary or a follow-up to the principal method. These two decisions yield four basic research designs: (CI) preliminary qualitative methods in a quantitative study, (b) preliminary quantitative methods ii? a qualitative study, (c) follow-up qualitative methods in a quantitative study, and (Ii) follow-up quantitative methods in a qualitative study. The conclusions consider further research designs and the expertise necessary for multiple-methods research.
