  September 2026 MMIRA Webinar: 

  Integrating ratings and open-ended comments in survey research with contingency table-based crossover analysis.

  Integration across study strands is fundamental to mixed methods research. Crossover analyses are ways of integrating data across study strands from differing traditions. This webinar presents a contingency table-based method of crossover analysis to integrate quantitative scales and open-ended items in survey research. The session will examine the Crossover Analysis Framework (CAF), variations on mixed questions based on the analytic method(s) used in the crossover analysis, and reflections on teaching crossover analysis. Participants will learn how crossover analysis works, how it can be used to enhance mixed methods research questions, and how it can improve the design of survey questions.

   November 2026 MMIRA Webinar: 

  Using Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods to Examine Heterogeneity Among Vulnerable Children

  Children living in poverty are often treated as a homogeneous group
  despite having diverse health and social needs. In this webinar, I will
  present an explanatory sequential mixed methods study that explored the
  heterogeneity of children living in public assistance households in
  Japan.
  The study first employed quantitative survey data and soft clustering
  analysis to identify distinct subgroups of children with different
  patterns of needs. Qualitative interviews were subsequently conducted to
  explore how practitioners understood these patterns and what types of
  support might be appropriate for each subgroup. The integration of
  quantitative and qualitative findings provided a more comprehensive
  understanding of children's circumstances than either method alone.
  The webinar will discuss the rationale for using an explanatory
  sequential design, approaches to integrating quantitative and
  qualitative findings, methodological challenges encountered during the
  study, and the implications of mixed methods research for understanding
  health inequities among vulnerable populations.

  Presenter Bio:

  Keiko Ueno, MD, MPH, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Innovative
  Clinical Research Center, Kanazawa University Hospital, Japan. She is a
  board-certified emergency physician and primary care physician with
  research expertise in social epidemiology, health equity, emergency
  medical services, and mixed methods research. Her research focuses on
  addressing social determinants of health among vulnerable populations,
  including children living in poverty, older adults, and emergency care
  users. She  has led several mixed methods studies examining health
  inequities and community-based support systems in Japan.
