might be better to answer more specifically, e.g. is this replicable?

  • Could give more space for discussion and comments rather than simple yes/no - doesn't align with study type particularly IPA

  • Some of the example prompts below could be more clear

  • Perhaps too much clinical judgement required to decide quality and congruity

  • What is "adequate"

  • Statement on ethics feels quite short

  • No definitive 'cut offs' for quality - how do we interpret overall quality of study based on the scoring above? Equal weighting to all points?

  • Lots of reflective prompts

  • Thorough analysis points

  • Good guidance below to support understanding of language used

  • Cultural and ethical considerations

  • More participant focused than the quan version

  • Marking criteria (0-4) more flexibility and thorough

  • Allows for more discussion

  • Strong reliability

  • Addresses differences in papers

  • Relies on knowledge of research

  • Labour intensive

  • Subjective

    Easy to use.

    Relatively simple.

    Not just yes/no.

    Guidance is with the checklist and helpful.

    Easy to apply to some studies.

    Algorithm that shows which part of tool to use depending on the methodology of paper

    Explanations help you to make decisions about quality relating to each criteria

    Gives emphasis to the rationale and integration of mixed methods


    Cons-

    Explanations for criteria do not always give sufficient information to help make decisions about quality

    No consideration of reflexivity and PPI involvement


    In summary, the MMAT seems useful for critically appraising the rationale and integration of mixed methods research, but you could benefit from supplementing the quant and qual criteria with quant and qual-specific appraisal tools

    Assumes defined groups - this study is only a single cohort.

    Better with between-subjects design.

    Not as relevant for correlational studies, needs to be adapted.

    Dropouts not well examined.
