תקציר	Equal-weight case-focused mixed methods is a research design that investigates a bounded case — a person, program, organization, or event — using qualitative and quantitative strands that are treated as equally important. Neither strand is subordinate; both contribute with the same priority to the final interpretation of the case. Data are collected and analyzed separately, then integrated at the interpretation stage to produce a richer, more complete understanding of the case than either approach could yield alone.	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.
