Community psychologists address social inequalities and problems by employing ecological principles, multiple methodologies and participatory approaches to empower individuals, organizations, and communities to organize action and systems change. This paper aims to contribute to mixed methods literature by presenting three models of mixed methods participatory research across a variety of geographic and sociocultural contexts.The models outline participatory processes and points of qualitative and quantitative data integration. Challenges related to the interplay between participatory approaches and mixed methods studies as well as implications on social science research are discussed.
