Σύνοψη	Sequential intervention mixed methods is a research design in which quantitative and qualitative data collection phases are arranged in sequence — one after the other — within the context of a planned intervention or experimental study. The sequencing allows each phase to build on the other: quantitative data may establish whether an intervention works, while qualitative data explain how and why it works (or does not) for specific participants or contexts.	Embedded intervention mixed methods is a research design in which a qualitative strand is nested within a primary quantitative intervention (experimental or quasi-experimental) study. The quantitative component tests whether an intervention works; the embedded qualitative component illuminates how and why it works — or does not work — for participants. The two strands run concurrently or sequentially within a single overarching study framework, with integration occurring during interpretation.
