Outline of the research process. We used a mixed methods approach to explore women’s experiences and health care-seeking practices in relation to uterine prolapse (UP) in nine hilly rural village development committees (VDCs) in the Dhading district of Nepal. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected at the same stage of the research process. The process is outlined in sequence to demonstrate how both the quantitative and qualitative studies were organized.
