Resumen	Equal-weight intervention mixed methods is a research design in which both quantitative and qualitative strands are assigned equal priority and are embedded within or alongside an intervention, program, or experiment. The design evaluates not only whether an intervention works (QUAN outcomes) but also how and why it works or fails (QUAL processes), with neither strand treated as secondary. It is particularly suited to program evaluation, clinical trials with process components, and educational or social interventions.	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.
