Sammanfattning	Sequential qualitative-priority mixed design is a two-phase mixed methods approach in which a qualitative strand is conducted first and carries greater weight in the overall study. The quantitative phase follows and serves to extend, test, or generalize the qualitative findings. The QUAL-first, QUAL-dominant logic makes this design well suited to exploratory research where theory or instruments are underdeveloped and must be grounded in participants' own words before being scaled up.	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.
