Résumé	The evaluation-focused exploratory sequential mixed methods design combines program evaluation goals with a two-phase sequential structure: qualitative inquiry precedes and informs a quantitative phase. Phase 1 explores stakeholder experiences or program processes through interviews or focus groups; the findings build an instrument or framework used to measure outcomes quantitatively in Phase 2. The approach is used when little is known about a program's mechanisms, and both understanding and generalizing findings to a wider population matter.	The exploratory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research framework in which a qualitative phase is conducted first to explore a poorly understood phenomenon, and the findings then inform a subsequent quantitative phase — typically to develop and test a survey instrument, measure a theory, or generalize qualitative insights to a larger population. The qualitative strand guides what is measured; the quantitative strand tests or extends those findings at scale.
