Σύνοψη	Qualitative-dominant transformative mixed methods is a mixed methods research design in which qualitative data carry the primary evidential weight while quantitative data serve a supplementary role, and the entire inquiry is governed by a transformative theoretical framework — one committed to social justice, equity, and the amplification of marginalized voices. The design produces rich contextual understanding alongside statistical corroboration to advance emancipatory or advocacy-oriented goals.	Qualitative-priority mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which qualitative inquiry carries the greater weight — in terms of volume, analytical depth, and interpretive authority — while a supplementary quantitative strand provides supporting evidence. The design acknowledges that the phenomenon under study is best understood through meaning-making, lived experience, or social processes, with numbers used to corroborate or contextualize, not to dominate, the research story.
