Sammanfattning	Qualitative-dominant case-focused mixed methods design embeds quantitative evidence inside a primarily qualitative case study framework. The case — a bounded unit such as a school, organization, or community — is examined in depth through qualitative means, while quantitative data serve a secondary, supplementary role. Priority is firmly with the qualitative strand, which drives interpretation and findings.	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.
