Sažetak	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.	The explanatory sequential mixed methods design is a two-phase research approach in which a quantitative study is conducted first, and qualitative data are then collected specifically to help explain or elaborate the initial quantitative results. The quantitative phase carries greater priority; the qualitative phase is purposefully built around the findings — such as surprising results, outliers, or statistically significant relationships — that need deeper interpretation.
