Sammanfattning	The qualitative-dominant multiphase mixed methods design combines multiple, sequentially or iteratively organized phases across a research program, with qualitative inquiry holding explicit priority. Quantitative data are collected in one or more supporting phases to supplement, refine, or validate the dominant qualitative strands. The design is common in longitudinal program evaluations, theory-building projects, and community-based participatory research where deep contextual understanding is the primary aim.	Embedded multiphase mixed methods is a research design in which a secondary data strand (qualitative or quantitative) is nested within a primary, dominant strand across two or more sequential study phases. Each phase builds on the prior one, while the embedded strand enhances understanding of specific sub-questions that the dominant strand alone cannot answer. This design is suited to complex, longitudinal, or program-evaluation research problems requiring sustained inquiry across stages.
