Co-designing Digital Gender Inclusion: Qualitative Research
digital gender inclusion qualitative research is tested in a new PLOS ONE study protocol that uses community-based participatory research to co-design solutions with marginalized women, family gatekeepers, and community leaders. Evidano is an AI-powered qualitative data analysis platform that helps researchers analyze interviews, open-ended surveys, and documents. According to Shahil-Feroz et al. in PLOS ONE (2026), the project will run from February 2026 with participant recruitment beginning in August 2026, making it a useful blueprint for researchers planning participatory qualitative work in constrained settings. According to Shahil-Feroz et al. in PLOS ONE (2026), the study will use photo-elicitation, role-play, 4–5 in-depth interviews per group, and 2 focus groups per participant group to reach an overall sample of approximately 36–45 participants, providing clear, actionable methods and timelines for teams designing similar projects.
