Σύνοψη	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.	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.
