Sammanfattning	Quantitative-dominant intervention mixed methods design embeds a qualitative component within a predominantly quantitative intervention study — typically a randomized controlled trial or quasi-experiment — where the quantitative strand carries the primary weight in determining efficacy, while the qualitative strand explains the processes, mechanisms, or participant experiences that illuminate why and how the intervention works.	The concurrent embedded mixed methods design collects quantitative and qualitative data at the same time, but assigns unequal priority to the two strands: one (usually quantitative) serves as the primary study, while the other (usually qualitative) is nested inside it to answer a supplementary question. The embedded strand does not stand alone; it provides a different perspective on the same phenomenon within a single unified study.
