תקציר	Visual elicitation thematic analysis (VETA) is a qualitative method that uses photographs, drawings, or other images as interview stimuli to provoke richer verbal accounts, then subjects those accounts to systematic thematic analysis. By grounding conversation in concrete visual material, the method unlocks meanings, memories, and tacit knowledge that purely verbal questioning often fails to reach. It is widely used in health, education, community, and organisational research.	Narrative analysis is a qualitative research method, synthesised canonically by Catherine Kohler Riessman (2008), that examines how individuals storise their lived experiences and construct meaning through the telling. Drawing on life history, biographical, and narrative inquiry traditions, it treats the story itself — not just its content — as the unit of analysis, attending to temporal sequence, plot structure, and the social context in which a narrative is produced.	Phenomenology is a qualitative research approach that investigates how participants live through and make sense of a specific experience. Rooted in the philosophy of Edmund Husserl and extended by Martin Heidegger, it aims to reveal the essential structures of lived experience rather than to measure or predict outcomes. The two most widely applied variants are Husserl's transcendental phenomenology, which seeks universal essences, and Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology, which emphasises interpretation within context.
