Zusammenfassung	The equal-weight transformative mixed methods design combines quantitative and qualitative strands at equal priority (QUAN + QUAL) within an overarching transformative theoretical framework — such as feminist, critical race, disability rights, or social justice theory. Both data types carry equivalent evidential weight, and the entire study is structured to challenge inequity, give voice to marginalized groups, and generate findings oriented toward advocacy and social change.	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.
