Samenvatting	Participatory Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Participatory RTA) integrates Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis framework with participatory research principles, actively involving participants as co-analysts in generating, reviewing, or refining themes from qualitative data. The approach is simultaneously a method of analysis and a form of member engagement, ensuring that the themes produced are grounded in participants' own meaning-making rather than imposed solely by the researcher.	Participatory Action Research (PAR) is a qualitative, community-centred methodology in which researchers and community members collaborate as co-investigators to identify a shared problem, take deliberate action, observe outcomes, and reflect critically on results — cycling iteratively until meaningful change is achieved. Unlike conventional research that studies people from the outside, PAR treats participants as active agents who co-own the research process, the knowledge produced, and the practical interventions that follow.
