Title: “Exploring the Impact of Social Media Usage on Mental Health: A Mixed Methods Approach” Introduction: Social media has become an integral part of modern society, with individuals spending a significant amount of time on various platforms. However,

Develop a mixed methods research study plan or outline that integrates quantitative and qualitative approaches to address a specific research question or problem. Select a research topic or problem that can benefit from both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Ensure that the research question is sufficiently complex to warrant a mixed methods approach. 
Instructions: 
Select a research topic or problem that can benefit from both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis. Ensure that the research question is sufficiently complex to warrant a mixed methods approach. 
Develop a mixed methods research study plan or outline that includes the following components: 
Introduction: 
1.Provide background information on the research topic or problem. 
Clearly state the research question or problem that will guide the study. 
Justification for Mixed Methods: 
Explain why a mixed methods approach is appropriate for addressing the research question or problem. 
Discuss the advantages of using both quantitative and qualitative methods in this context. 
Research Design: 
Define the specific mixed methods design that will be used (e.g., explanatory sequential, exploratory sequential, convergent, embedded). 
Describe how quantitative and qualitative data will be collected and integrated. 
Sampling: 
Explain the sampling procedures for both quantitative and qualitative components of the study. 
Discuss considerations for determining sample size and potential challenges in sample size estimation. 
Ethical Considerations: 
Identify any ethical considerations related to data collection, analysis, and reporting. 
Discuss how ethical principles will be upheld throughout the study.
