Σύνοψη	Quantitative-dominant intervention mixed methods design embeds a qualitative component within a predominantly quantitative intervention study — typically a randomized controlled trial or quasi-experiment — where the quantitative strand carries the primary weight in determining efficacy, while the qualitative strand explains the processes, mechanisms, or participant experiences that illuminate why and how the intervention works.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
