ABSTRACT
The focus of the chapter is on the enhanced value of secondary data research for policy developments in hybrid health systems. The novel use of mixed research methods in secondary data capture and analysis is described, with local illustrations. The benefits for increasingly complex health systems are highlighted, where conventional scientific enquiry finds it hard to examine the growth of independent sector wellbeing agencies and interventions. It is noted that this growth includes an emphasis on faith-related social enterprises and informal relational networks where revelation may otherwise usurp research as an evidential source.
