Resumen	Concurrent multilevel mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data simultaneously at two or more levels of a nested social system — for example, students within classrooms within schools — then integrates findings across those levels to produce a layered, comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. The concurrent timing means both data strands are gathered in the same phase rather than one informing the other 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.
