Σύνοψη	Participatory Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Participatory RTA) integrates Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework with participatory research principles, actively involving participants as co-analysts in generating, reviewing, or refining themes from qualitative data. The approach is simultaneously a method of analysis and a form of member engagement, ensuring that the themes produced are grounded in participants' own meaning-making rather than imposed solely by the researcher.	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.
