Sammanfattning	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.	The concurrent triangulation mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously, analyzes each strand independently, and then merges the results to assess whether the two data sources corroborate one another. Often called the convergent parallel design, it is one of the foundational configurations in mixed methods research and is chosen specifically when the researcher wants to cross-validate or triangulate findings from two distinct methodological traditions.
