خلاصه	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.	An embedded exploratory sequential mixed methods design opens with a qualitative phase that explores an understudied phenomenon, then embeds a secondary quantitative strand within or alongside that primary qualitative work. The qualitative findings guide what is measured quantitatively, while the embedded quantitative data provide additional scope or precision without displacing the qualitative logic driving the study.
