Strategies such as complementarity, contextual overlaying, and triangulation require the use of mixed methods for data collection. There are pros and cons for use of these strategies in pure form, mixed methods data collection. One major advantage is that the pure form type of application ensures the original integrity of the qualitative and quantitative methods. However, a major disadvantage for such an application is its expense. Qualitative and quantitative methods compete for evaluation resources. Cost is a big hurdle that might prevent widespread use of methods in their pure forms. The most expensive situation is the application of pure form mixed methods under the triangulation strategy to conduct an outcome evaluation. In a sense, the outcome data, which are highly time-consuming to collect, are independently collected twice to investigate the same phenomenon. Furthermore, it is hoped that the results from qualitative and quantitative data will show convergence. Tensions of interpretation arise when the results from the qualitative and quantitative methods are not convergent. In this situation, the evaluator will need to rely on using the contextua
