Σύνοψη	Visual elicitation reflexive thematic analysis (VERTA) is a qualitative compound design that uses photographs, drawings, or other images as conversation starters in in-depth interviews and then analyses the resulting talk using Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework. The visual prompt lowers the communication barrier, stimulates richer narrative, and anchors abstract experiences to concrete imagery, while the reflexive analytic approach treats theme development as an active, iterative, and researcher-engaged interpretive process rather than a coding algorithm.	Participatory Visual Analysis (PVA) is a qualitative research approach in which community members or research participants actively produce and interpret visual materials — photographs, drawings, videos, or maps — as a means of documenting their own experiences, surfacing knowledge, and informing action. Rather than the researcher imposing an analytical gaze on pre-existing images, participants are co-investigators who create visual data and participate in its interpretation, making the method both epistemologically democratic and particularly powerful for accessing marginalized or hard-to-articulate perspectives.
