title = "Why should mixed methods matter to primary care physicians and other providers?",
author = "Creswell, {John W.} and Mariko Hirose",
note = "Funding Information: physician experiences of physical examinations. These are all topics helping primary care physicians with their practices, and the Annals has a long history of publishing mixed methods studies. The mixed methods journal, the Journal of Mixed Methods Research, edited by the primary care physician, Dr Michael Fetters, at the University of Michigan also publishes mixed methods studies addressing topics in primary care. See, for example, the insightful article about patient and provider (general physician) relationships in the article by Schieber, Kelly-Irving, Genolini, et al.4 You can also see the list of primary care projects funded by the National Institute of Health in their searchable database called RePORT (National Institute of Health, NIH Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools), https://report.nih. gov). As you say, primary care researchers should have an interest in patient-reported outcomes and making an interpretation for them. Quality improvements in primary care cannot do without mixed methods. We agree.",
