a case study examining managers' support for wellness programs
This case study provides an overview of using mixed methods to gain an in-depth understanding of an emerging research topic. The different type of mixed method designs is presented with a close examination of a Sequential Exploratory design. This type of mixed method study design is a great choice for emerging research topics, where there is limited research available. The Sequential Exploratory design involves a first phase of qualitative data collection that is used to inform a second phase of quantitative data collection. This case study describes one example of using the Sequential Exploratory design to examine managers' barriers and facilitators to supporting wellness programs for their employees. The first phase involved qualitative interviews with managers regarding their beliefs and attitudes toward wellness programs. The second phase used the qualitative data to create a quantitative survey that was fielded to managers to collect data that could be integrated with the qualitative data to provide a complete picture. The qualitative and quantitative data informed the content for an online intervention that addressed managers' barriers and facilitators to supporting wellness programs. The qualitative and quantitative data are one way to provide a thorough examination of an emerging research topic and help with the development of an intervention.
