Σύνοψη	Quantitative-dominant case-focused mixed methods organizes a study around one or more clearly bounded cases while assigning primary weight and inferential authority to quantitative data. Qualitative data are collected within the same case boundaries and serve an augmenting, explanatory, or contextual role rather than an equal one. The design is ideal when a case (a school, organization, community, or patient cohort) is the unit of analysis and the core research questions require measurable outcomes that qualitative evidence then helps interpret or explain.	The concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
