TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Mixed methods community-engaged evaluation: integrating interventionist and action research frameworks to understand a community-building violence prevention program JO - Journal of mixed methods research A1 - Banyard, Victoria L.

SP - 350 EP - 372 VL - 17 IS - 4 N2 - While mixed methods research can enhance studies of intervention outcomes and projects where research itself transforms communities through participatory approaches, methodologists need explicit examples. As the field of interpersonal violence prevention increasingly embraces community-level prevention strategies, it may benefit from research methods that mirror community-building prevention processes. A multiphase mixed methods study with sequential and convergent components assessed the feasibility, and impact of a prevention program to change social norms and increase collective efficacy in towns. Joint display analysis created a nuanced picture of the acceptability, feasibility, and impact of the program. This article contributes to the field of mixed methods research by bridging discussions of "interventionist" studies with models of community-based participatory mixed methods research into a combined community-engaged method.
