Resumo	Qualitative-dominant mixed methods meta-inference is the overarching inference-drawing process in a mixed methods study where qualitative findings carry primary explanatory weight. Meta-inference — the integrated conclusion drawn by combining qualitative and quantitative strands — is anchored to and interpreted through the richer, theoretically foregrounded qualitative findings, with quantitative results serving a supplementary, corroborating, or contextualizing function.	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.
