Резюме	Participatory Content Analysis (PCA) is a qualitative method that integrates community members or stakeholders directly into the content analysis process. Rather than treating participants solely as data sources, PCA positions them as co-analysts who help develop coding categories, interpret textual data, and validate findings. This approach is widely used in health communication, education research, and community-based studies where insider knowledge and cultural context are essential to accurate interpretation.	Content analysis is a systematic research technique for reducing text, visual, or media material into coded categories so that patterns can be counted, compared, and interpreted. Formalised by Klaus Krippendorff in his widely cited methodology textbook (latest edition 2018), the method sits at the boundary of qualitative and quantitative inquiry: it imposes structured, replicable coding on inherently meaning-laden material.
