خلاصه	Comparative Reflexive Thematic Analysis (CRTA) applies Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework to data drawn from two or more distinct groups, time points, or contexts, with the explicit goal of contrasting thematic patterns across those groups. The reflexive element means the analyst continuously interrogates how their own perspectives and positioning shape the themes they construct, while the comparative element directs attention to differences and similarities between data sets rather than seeking a single unified account.	Comparative case study is a qualitative research design in which two or more bounded cases are studied in depth and then systematically compared to identify similarities, differences, and patterns across contexts. Rooted in Yin's replication logic and Stake's multiple case framework, it is particularly suited to questions that ask how or why a phenomenon unfolds differently — or similarly — across distinct settings, populations, or time periods.
