Resumé	A mixed methods design in which a dominant quantitative study (survey, experiment, or other large-scale numeric inquiry) is conducted simultaneously with a smaller, embedded qualitative component. The qualitative strand serves a secondary, supporting role — such as explaining mechanisms, capturing participant experience, or monitoring implementation — while the quantitative strand drives the primary research questions and conclusions. Both strands run concurrently rather than sequentially.	Multilevel mixed methods design is a research approach that collects and integrates both quantitative and qualitative data at two or more distinct levels of a social or organizational hierarchy — for example, individuals nested within classrooms, classrooms within schools, or patients within healthcare teams. By pairing quantitative measurement of outcomes at one level with qualitative exploration of meaning at another, researchers gain a richer, more complete picture than either strand alone could provide.
