خلاصه	Embedded case-focused mixed methods design combines a case-study unit of analysis with an embedded mixed methods structure, nesting one smaller data strand — typically qualitative — within a dominant primary strand — typically quantitative — all organized around one or more bounded cases. This design enables researchers to answer within-case questions at multiple levels, capturing both statistical patterns and rich contextual meaning for a specific case or set of cases.	Case-focused mixed methods design integrates qualitative and quantitative data-collection strands within one or more bounded cases — specific settings, organizations, programs, or individuals. The design harnesses the contextual depth of case study methodology alongside the corroborative or complementary power of mixed data types, enabling researchers to build rich, multi-faceted accounts of complex phenomena situated in real-world contexts.
