The purpose of this study is to describe how a mixed methods approach was used to gain a better understanding of functioning in schizophrenia. A two-phase design was employed, with preparatory studies conducted to identify areas of convergence, followed by a consensus conference with international experts to finalize the list of functioning areas. The qualitative methodology, specifically focus groups with patients and families, played a major role in contributing to the final list. The experience of the experts' conference underscores the importance of a consensus process in capturing cultural differences.
The purpose of this study is to describe how a mixed methods approach was used to gain a better understanding of functioning in schizophrenia. A two-phase design was employed. In the first phase, four independent qualitative and quantitative preparatory studies were concurrently carried out to identify areas of convergence. In the second phase, we held a consensus conference with an international panel of experts to explore how these preparatory studies contributed to the final list of areas of functioning in schizophrenia. The data of the preparatory studies were complementary, and the qualitative methodology (i.e., focus groups with patients and families) was the main contributor to the final list. The experience of the conference of experts highlights the importance of the consensus process for capturing a range of cultural differences.
