Participatory Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis

Participatory Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (Participatory IPA) merges the interpretive, meaning-focused rigour of IPA with participatory research principles, engaging participants as active co-researchers in the design, data collection, and analytic phases. The approach is especially valued in studies involving marginalised or vulnerable groups — such as people with cognitive impairments, chronic illness, or lived experience of social exclusion — where standard interview protocols may silence rather than amplify participant voice.
