ABSTRACT
The complexity of the real world is reflected in the challenges that researchers encountered in undertaking mixed-methods research in wellbeing and health. Ethics are important in any research. It can be that in undertaking mixed methods, the researcher is entering new territory as their particular combination of mixed methods has not been tried before or not with a particular topic or population. Additionally, we would reiterate here the potential of mixed-methods approaches to access the voices of those who are harder to reach in research terms and, therefore, their potential to address issues of social transformation and justice. This in turn may necessitate even more careful thinking about ethics and the sensitive application of research designs. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book.
