Triangulation of subjects. The advantage with this approach is that it overcomes the weakness in one method with the strengths of another. It can also be useful in expanding quantitative data through collection of open-ended qualitative data. The importance of this method is that it uses different data sources which help to validate findings. The reason for collecting both quantitative and qualitative data is to bring together the strengths of both forms of research to corroborate the results (Creswell
