תקציר	Concurrent mixed methods meta-inference is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative data strands are collected simultaneously and then subjected to a formal meta-inferential process — drawing a unified, overarching conclusion that transcends what either strand alone could produce. The concurrent timing means neither strand informs the collection of the other; instead, both strands converge at the analysis-integration stage where meta-inferences are constructed.	Mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching conclusion drawn at the end of a mixed methods study by systematically combining and integrating the separate inferences produced by the quantitative and qualitative strands. It represents the highest-level interpretive act in mixed methods research: moving beyond strand-specific findings to produce a unified, coherent understanding of the research problem that neither strand could yield alone.
