Joint display of quantitative predictors mapped to relevant qualitative themes and resulting mixed methods research inference for group attenders.

Quantitative measures	Predictive of Improvement in A1c or BMI	Emergent qualitative themes	MMRa inference
Improvements in diabetes knowledge	Yes	Health-related knowledge gains and application to real-world situations	Convergence
Session attendance	No	Accountability in goal setting Group support Positive reinforcement	Divergence Importance of factor expanded through qualitative data
Diet and exercise self-care	No	Health prioritization and improved self-confidence	Divergence Importance of factor expanded through qualitative data
