Mixed methods approach: the initial qualitative findings were used to build an intervention, from which I collected quantitative results (seq exploratory). The last qualitative strand was used to expand on quantitative findings (seq explanatory) but interview questions have also been informed by the initial QUAL findings.
QUAL -> QUAN -> QUAL
Is there a particular nomenclature to this approach whereby qualitative findings inform future qualitative interview question design?
In general, this design would probably be summarized as qual --> QUAN --> because both of the qualitative studies are driven by the quantitative portion of the project. I don't think the link between the two qualitative studies alters this to a substantial degree.
To me, the key issue is what "motivates" the use of a method, and in this case both of the qualitative studies are motivated by the quantitative study.
