Resumo	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.	The embedded qualitative-priority mixed design nests a secondary quantitative strand within a dominant qualitative inquiry. The qualitative strand drives the research logic, framing the questions, guiding data collection, and anchoring interpretation, while the quantitative component plays a supporting role — typically measuring outcomes, tracking context variables, or confirming patterns emerging from the qualitative core. The result is a rich, theoretically grounded account that remains rooted in participants' meanings while gaining empirical precision where needed.
