요약	The embedded qualitative-priority mixed design nests a secondary quantitative strand within a dominant qualitative inquiry. The qualitative strand drives the research logic, framing the questions, guiding data collection, and anchoring interpretation, while the quantitative component plays a supporting role — typically measuring outcomes, tracking context variables, or confirming patterns emerging from the qualitative core. The result is a rich, theoretically grounded account that remains rooted in participants' meanings while gaining empirical precision where needed.	Qualitative-priority mixed methods design is a mixed methods approach in which qualitative inquiry carries the greater weight — in terms of volume, analytical depth, and interpretive authority — while a supplementary quantitative strand provides supporting evidence. The design acknowledges that the phenomenon under study is best understood through meaning-making, lived experience, or social processes, with numbers used to corroborate or contextualize, not to dominate, the research story.
