When integrating through narrative, researchers describe the qualitative and quantitative findings in a single or series of reports. There are three approaches to integration through narrative in research reports. The weaving approach involves writing both qualitative and quantitative findings together on a theme-by-theme or concept-by-concept basis. For example, in their work on vehicle crashes among the elderly, Classen and colleagues used a weaving approach to integrate results from a national crash dataset and perspectives of stakeholders to summarize causative factors of vehicle crashes and develop empirical guidelines for public health interventions (Classen et al. 2007). The contiguous approach to integration involves the presentation of findings within a single report, but the qualitative and quantitative findings are reported in different sections. For example, Carr and colleagues reported survey findings in the first half of the results section and the qualitative results about contextual factors in a subsequent part of the report (Carr 2000). In their study of a quality improvement approach for implementing evidence-based employment services at specialty mental health clinics, Hamilton and colleagues used this approach but differ by presenting the qualitative results first and the quantitative results second (Hamilton et al. 2013). The staged approach to integration often occurs in multistage mixed methods studies when the results of each step are reported in stages as the data are analyzed and published separately. For example, Wilson and colleagues used an intervention mixed methods framework involving a clinical trial of usual care, nicotine gum, and gum plus counseling on smoking cessation (Wilson et al. 1988). They also used interviews to find the meaning patients attributed to their stopping smoking (Willms 1991). The authors published the papers separately but in the second published paper, the interview paper, they only briefly mention the original clinical trial paper.
