Tóm tắt	The embedded explanatory sequential mixed methods design combines two structural logics: the explanatory sequential framework (a dominant quantitative phase followed by a qualitative follow-up) and the embedded design principle (one method nested within the other to serve a supporting role). Quantitative data are collected and analyzed first to identify patterns or outcomes; qualitative data are then gathered — embedded within or alongside the QUAN phase — to explain, interpret, or contextualize those findings. The result is a study in which numerical results drive the inquiry and qualitative voices provide the explanatory depth.	The multiphase mixed methods design is a sustained research program in which quantitative and qualitative strands are combined across three or more sequential phases — or across multiple related projects — to address a central program objective. Each phase builds on the prior phase's findings, making the design well-suited to long-term evaluation, intervention development, and large-scale program assessment where a single data-collection cycle cannot fully address the complexity of the research problem.
