Quantitative-Priority Mixed Methods Design

Quantitative-priority mixed methods design is a research approach in which quantitative data and analysis carry the primary explanatory weight, while qualitative data play a supplementary or corroborating role. The researcher collects and analyzes quantitative data first (or concurrently with greater emphasis), then uses qualitative findings to elaborate, explain, or contextualize the statistical results. Priority and sequence together define where integration occurs and how each strand informs the other.
