Sammanfattning	Equal-weight pragmatic mixed methods is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative strands are assigned the same methodological priority (QUAL = QUAN) and conducted from a pragmatist philosophical stance. Rather than privileging one paradigm, the researcher selects and combines methods that best answer the research question — treating practical utility as the primary criterion for all design decisions.	Qualitative-priority mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which qualitative inquiry carries the greater weight — in terms of volume, analytical depth, and interpretive authority — while a supplementary quantitative strand provides supporting evidence. The design acknowledges that the phenomenon under study is best understood through meaning-making, lived experience, or social processes, with numbers used to corroborate or contextualize, not to dominate, the research story.
