خلاصه	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.	Reflexive Thematic Analysis (RTA) is a widely used qualitative method for identifying, analysing, and interpreting patterns of shared meaning — called themes — across a dataset. Developed by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke, it is theoretically flexible, works across epistemological positions, and foregrounds the researcher's active, interpretive role rather than treating themes as features that simply emerge from data. It differs from older 'codebook' approaches by treating the analyst's subjectivity as a resource rather than a source of bias to be suppressed.
