Zusammenfassung	Equal-weight intervention mixed methods is a research design in which both quantitative and qualitative strands are assigned equal priority and are embedded within or alongside an intervention, program, or experiment. The design evaluates not only whether an intervention works (QUAN outcomes) but also how and why it works or fails (QUAL processes), with neither strand treated as secondary. It is particularly suited to program evaluation, clinical trials with process components, and educational or social interventions.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
