Sammanfattning	Quantitative-dominant mixed methods meta-inference is an integration procedure in which the researcher draws an overarching conclusion by combining inferences from both quantitative and qualitative strands, while explicitly assigning greater evidential weight to the quantitative results. The qualitative strand serves a supporting, elaborating, or contextualizing role rather than an equal voice in the final interpretation.	Quantitative-dominant multilevel mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which quantitative inquiry carries the primary evidential weight while qualitative data play an auxiliary, illuminating role, and both strands are applied across two or more hierarchically nested levels of analysis — for example, students within classrooms within schools. The design is suited to research questions that require both statistical modeling of nested structures and contextual understanding of how those structures operate.
