"Triangulation is an approach to data analysis that synthesizes data from multiple sources. Triangulation seeks to quickly examine existing data to strengthen interpretations and improve policy and programs based on the available evidence. By examining information collected by different methods, by different groups and in different populations, findings can be corroborated across data sets, reducing the impact of potential biases that can exist in a single study. Triangulation combines information from quantitative and qualitative studies, incorporates prevention and care program data, and makes use of expert judgment. Triangulation can answer questions on risk groups, program effectiveness, policy and budget planning, and the state of the epidemic in a changing environment. Triangulation methodology provides a powerful tool when a rapid response is needed, or when good data do not exist to answer a specific question. Triangulation can be used when the collection of new data is not feasible or cost-effective."

Eu explicava de uma forma mais simples. O que sei é que os triângulos gostam de mim, mesmo que os ângulos andem um pouco diferentes. Mas eu não gosto deles, so why they stock me?
