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.
虽然混合方法研究可以加强对干预结果的研究，以及通过参与式方法使研究本身改变社区的项目，但方法学家需要明确的实例。随着人际暴力预防领域越来越多地采用社区层面的预防策略，它可能会从反映社区建设预防过程的研究方法中受益。一项包含序列和收敛成分的多阶段混合方法研究评估了一项预防计划在改变社会规范和提高城镇集体效能方面的可行性和影响。联合展示分析呈现了该计划的可接受性、可行性和影响的细致情况。本文通过将“干预主义”研究的讨论与基于社区的参与式混合方法研究模型联系起来，形成一种结合社区参与的方法，为混合方法研究领域做出了贡献。
