Abstract
An increasing interest in the pragmatic aspects of health management research demand a Mixed Methods Research (MMR) approach to assist in ensuring a deep understanding of complex research questions. However, the prevalence of MMR in academic health management journals is unknown. In order to determine prevalence, we examined 1352 empirical articles and 6% explicitly referred to a mixed methods research design. Methodologically, this paper focusses on the issues encountered in undertaking this prevalence study: (a) difficulty in determining actual research methods from an abstract, and (b) inability to weigh the actual balance of quantitative and qualitative methods in the articles assessed.
