The first approach refers to a mixed-methods research design based on surveys and qualitative interviews. We share our experience of conducting a \u201cfully mixed-concurrent-equal-status-design\u201d research project, for which we collected data through quantitative surveys on transnational practices of people aged 55+. Furthermore, we conducted semistructured interviews with adults aged 64+ living or who have lived in Switzerland and spend part of the year in Spain. The second approach relates to the use of an inclusive sample diversified in terms of nationality and migration backgrounds. The inclusive design affects the formulation of questions asked to all participants (and the response options provided in the survey), as well as decisions related to language choices and translations. These elements have to be considered to ensure that older adults from different backgrounds feel included. In a research project on transnational mobility of older adults, conducting an inclusive plus mixed-methods research project pushes researchers to find strategies to balance research objectives with available resources. Maximizing the research team\u2019s methodological background appears to be a suitable approach to address different population groups while working within a budget.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnab128","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,2]],"date-time":"2021-09-02T13:33:09Z","timestamp":1630589589000},"page":"816-822","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Inclusiveness Plus Mixed Methods: An Innovative Research Design on Transnational Practices of Older Adults"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"62","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4218-412X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Livia","family":"Tom\u00e1s","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sociology, University of Neuch\u00e2tel , Neuch\u00e2tel , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Laura","family":"Ravazzini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sociology, University of Neuch\u00e2tel , Neuch\u00e2tel , Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"2022071814035792900_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"563","DOI":"10.1093\/geront\/gnw140","article-title":"Social security contributions and return migration among older male Mexican immigrants","volume":"57","author":"Aguila","year":"2017","journal-title":"The Gerontologist"},{"issue":"10","key":"2022071814035792900_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1707","DOI":"10.1080\/01419870.2012.659273","article-title":"De-naturalizing the national in research methodologies: Key concepts of transnational studies in migration","volume":"35","author":"Amelina","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ethnic and Racial Studies"},{"issue":"1","key":"2022071814035792900_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1080\/21931674.2013.10820745","article-title":"Returning, staying, or both?
