Sammanfattning	Evaluation-focused case-focused mixed methods integrates an explicit program evaluation framework with in-depth case study inquiry, combining qualitative and quantitative data within a bounded unit — a program, site, or organization — to render both descriptive understanding and evaluative judgments about merit, worth, or significance. The design serves applied evaluation contexts where holistic case understanding is needed alongside evidence-based performance conclusions.	The concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
