Σύνοψη	The embedded quantitative-priority mixed design is a mixed methods research structure in which a dominant quantitative study (survey, experiment, or longitudinal assessment) provides the primary basis for conclusions, while a qualitative component is embedded within that quantitative framework to address a question the numbers alone cannot answer. Priority and resources lie with the quantitative strand; the qualitative strand enriches, contextualizes, or explains a specific aspect of the larger quantitative investigation.	Embedded multiphase mixed methods is a research design in which a secondary data strand (qualitative or quantitative) is nested within a primary, dominant strand across two or more sequential study phases. Each phase builds on the prior one, while the embedded strand enhances understanding of specific sub-questions that the dominant strand alone cannot answer. This design is suited to complex, longitudinal, or program-evaluation research problems requiring sustained inquiry across stages.
