خلاصه	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 explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
