You are conducting a mixed methods study on a new school attendance policy. You have finished collecting and analyzing student attendance data, as well as teacher interview data in your mixed methods study. You analyzed the data and now need to incorporate the findings into a coherent narrative. Describe four of the seven considerations that you should address when integrating the findings, and how you would accomplish this in your study.

• Data consolidation: blending data obtained from two separate studies into a single dataset
• Data comparison: comparing data from different data sources
• Data integration: bringing qualitative and quantitative data into a coherent whole
• Data display: identifying meaningful ways to visually represent your qualitative and quantitative findings/results
