Résumé	Visual elicitation content analysis combines the photograph or image-based interview technique known as photo elicitation with the systematic coding procedures of content analysis. Participants are shown selected visual stimuli — photographs, drawings, video stills, or researcher-produced images — and invited to respond verbally. Those verbal responses are then subjected to structured content analysis to identify recurring themes, categories, and patterns across participants, bridging the depth of elicited meaning with the rigor of systematic coding.	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
