Purpose: The purpose of the Workshop for Mixed Methods Emergency Preparedness Research Toolkit is to address current concerns for the use of mixed methods to support the translation of emergency preparedness research into practice. Toolkit Description: The toolkit is a 45-minute webcast that explains the use of a mixed methods approach in the translation from emergency preparedness research into practice. The webcast does so by clarifying the role of mixed methodology in emergency preparedness translation via the following talking points: 1. Defining key terms 2. Providing a rationale for the use of mixed methods 3. Describing how to both select and use the best methods based on the context of the research 4. Suggesting strategies to avoid common challenges in mixed methods research in emergency preparedness Who should use it?: While the webcast could be shown to any size audience, its primarily designed to be shown to researchers and evaluators of emergency preparedness work, or for those studying response. Benefits: By clarifying the importance of using a mixed methods approach for translating research into practice, and by using a webcast to reach a wider audience, the use of this toolkit can result in, but is not limited to the following benefits: - Support researchers and evaluators in preparedness with a framework for developing mixed methods studies. - Data collected through future studies with this methodology will be more beneficial to public health practice and improve emergency preparedness and response activities.
