What makes a study mixed methods rather than just having two datasets?
Integration. The strands have to inform each other at some identifiable point, whether in design, sampling, analysis or interpretation. Two analyses reported in sequence with a conclusion mentioning both is the definition of the problem, not the method.
This comes up on Mixed Methods Research Support, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
