Abstract

Triangulation is used to provide a more complete picture of a subject being studied, and to confirm the validity of findings using multiple data sources. Triangulation can also give researchers an opportunity for innovative study design and analysis. More often researchers are being asked to conduct research with limited resources (e.g. time, cost, effort), while striving to maintain rigorous inquiry. This workshop will use a case-study of a U.S. city delivering HIV services, to provide guidance on how to design an innovative mixed-methods study; and demonstrate how to develop an analysis strategy for confirmation and completeness. At the end of this workshop, participants will: 1) Understand the purposes of triangulation and how it can be used for rigorous inquiry; 2) Describe conditions that can foster innovative study design and analysis; 3) Identify common innovation and triangulation pitfalls.
