Participatory Qualitative content analysis
Participatory Qualitative Content Analysis (PQCA) integrates the systematic text-analytic procedures of qualitative content analysis with the collaborative, power-sharing ethos of participatory research. Community members or stakeholders join the research team as co-analysts — helping to define the coding frame, interpret categories, and validate findings — rather than serving merely as data sources. The result is analysis that is both methodologically rigorous and grounded in the perspectives of those most affected by the research topic.
